When you saw me in the boxing ring fighting, it wasn't just so I could beat my opponent. My fighting had a purpose. I had to be successful in order to get people to listen to the things I had to say.

If my mind can conceive it, if my heart can believe it, then I can achieve it.

You could be the world's best garbage man, the world's best model; it don't matter what you do if you're the best.

I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.'

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again.

Religion should not be allowed to come into Politics....Religion is merely a matter between man and God.

I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.

Even the greatest was once a beginner. Don't be afraid to take that first step.

Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision.

Love yourself. Care for your body. You are God’s image.

The pain you feel is simply because you do not yet have the strength to forgive. But you will grow strong again, that is for sure.

You the devil in drag. You can burn your cross, Well, I'll burn your flag.

When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once. You lose them in pieces over time, like how the mail stops coming.

Follow what your head is telling you and work hard. That's the big secret.

The idea that the GLC should be abolished at a stroke is ill though out, undemocratic and will cost the people of London dear.

I know he is younger than me, but I absolutely love Zac Efron. His hair is always so pretty.

Onstage I'm the one in control - I'm not at the mercy of how an editor chooses to put the scene together later. I can do things onstage that I would never do in real life. It's very freeing.

If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.

Every day is a new day with me. All holds are off. All contracts are forgotten.
