I'm just happy I'm not a phony.

Sometimes they laugh at things I don’t think are funny, but I believe if they’re laughing at me, it’s a good show.

King has big offices, houses, and he pays his fighters a lot of money. An, because he’s black, the FBI figures he must be doing something crooked.

Back when I was a kid, I never liked the kind of kids that my kids have become. They’re privileged and have things very easy. But I’m proud of them. None of my kids are getting high, they love school, they’re very popular.

Every time there’s a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.

I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn’t getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened.

At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that’s who you come to see.

I know why they don’t like me because they want the money I have.

People say ‘Poor guy.’ That insults me. I despise sympathy. So I screwed up. I made some mistakes. ‘Poor guy,’ like I’m some victim. There’s nothing poor about me.

I’m the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don’t believe it, check the cash register.
