I left a lot - a lot - of touchdowns on the field throughout the last two or three years.

If you align expectations with reality, you will never be disappointed.

Instead of me having a breakdown, I'm focusing on me having a breakthrough.

I think people change, but the media, they never allowed me to change. They never allowed me to be a better person

Everything happens at the time it needs to happen. I do not push destiny. Boxers take different paths in their career and those roads don't always come together.

The air is like a draught of wine. The undertaker cleans his sign, The Hull express goes off the line, When it's raspberry time in Runcorn.

My soul is nothing now but the dream dreamt by matter struggling with itself!
