My trainer, George Francis, used to train a lot of African boxers. They're hungry guys, man. They've got no trainers, got nothing. They're so hungry to do boxing, to make some money.

Being sectioned was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Mental illness can happen to anybody. You can be a dustman, a politician, a Tesco worker... anyone. It could be your dad, your brother or your aunt.

Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world.

Well, that's cricket Harry. These things happen in boxing

When I came into boxing, I brought it to the next level with adverts and doing pantomime and people just got jealous of me doing that.

Mental illness is a very powerful thing. If it is with you it is probably going to be there until the day you die. I am trying so hard to break mine, but it is not easy. It is my toughest fight ever.

I was in a no-win situation, so I'm glad that I won rather than lost

I was about 18 six years ago. I'm 28 now.

But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

Boxing is just show business with blood.

Ceasing to believe caused a permanent scar in the place where one's faith had been, making it impossible to forget.

Never assume but trust your instincts.

Romantic relationship is meant to be romantic, which means loving. If it is not any more you may ask yourself why you are still together.

A man can be destroyed but not defeated.

I had an Indian Scout motorcycle during high school, but I never could take it to school. My dad would sneak out at night and pull the spark-plug wires.

I auditioned just for fun.

It wasn't a revenge game or a get-back game, because that was a long time ago. This was just a big win for us.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times, in life after life, in age after age forever. He who wants to do good, knocks at the gate; He who loves, finds the door open.

If I knew that I could die, I would live. My life, my death, my choice.

You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.
