Everybody knows that I am one of the greatest fighters of all time and I would beat all those guys.

I never tried to be a mercenary or a killer but a hard working fighter.

I came from a dirt farm, now I'm filthy rich.

All fighters are prostitutes and all promoters are pimps

Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.

This is the lying thieving mother who cut me $500,000.

There is no quit in me.

Mike Tyson always had a big heart, but one of his problems is that he's short. And he's got kind of a personal attitude. But that don't make him a great fighter.

I normally wear Stuart Weitzman or Kors Michael Kors.

Each one of my films is personal; each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that.

Do not steal something that already belongs to you or pine for people who are sitting right next to you.

More than anybody else I’d like to thank Count Basie for teaching me how to perform.
