I am just focused on what's in front of me. I really can't worry about or complain about the WBO situation at this point.

Sure many people will be shocked when I win, but not me.

The hard work is done. The training is done. I'm not gonna say too much.

We need to get more people watching boxing. I love this sport and anything we can do to help it is great.

I knew my time would come I just had to stay focused and disciplined and if you work hard good things happen. I am right where I am supposed to be.

I am no busier than I have ever been - I have always been a busy guy.

Medical School is the next step in my career. There is no doubt about that. My mind is still hungry and I want to continue my education.

I feel like I fight an aggressive style - smart / aggressive.

Oil-painting is a developed technique. Why go backwards?

We've believed for 50 years that the Japanese are small Americans who wanted to be like us. They are not.

Our adversity is never just for us, but to bless others around us.

I once went out with this wild girl. She made French toast and got her tongue caught in the toaster.

Life is too short to surround yourself with people who aren't looking out for you.

Some lessons are only delivered in the form of pain.

Trust me: Studios, investors, filmmakers, they will shift because they just follow the money trail.
