I've been a survivor my whole life...if I survived the Marines, I can survive Muhammad Ali.

I was six foot one inch when I started fighting, but with all the uppercuts I'm up to six foot five inches.

So when do I meet the champ?

Very occasionally, if you pay really close attention, life doesn't suck.

I love the smell of paper in the morning it smells like victory.

If I get to be president, what can I do anyway? With Congress and the press, what chance do I have to make basic changes?

The amount of hassle involved in travel can be overwhelming.

No doubt about it, solitude is improved by being voluntary.

All names will soon be restored to their proper owners.

Look, it's one of the great mysteries of the world, I cannot answer that question. I think I'm vaguely blonde. To be perfectly frank, I don't know.

I mean, my people were very, very simple. They were peasant people, you know?

It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.
