Mike Tyson

When I was in prison I was wrapped up in all those deep books. That Tolstoy crap. People shouldn\'t read that stuff.

Our money is bait money, and bait money is not to be used.

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

I live for the moment to hit people.

You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.

You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes a day, unless you're too busy, then you should sit for an hour. If Tetris has taught me anything, it's that errors pile up & accomplishments disappear. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

He was crying in there, making woman gestures.

If he's not dead, it doesn't count.

My power is discombobulatingly devastating.

I don't know that person anymore, that guy in '86, '87. I don't know that guy no more. I don't have no affinity for that guy no more. I have no affinity for the guy who said, 'I am the greatest fighter God produced.' I have no affinity for the guy who said he would try to push his [opponent's] nose bone up into his brain. I just don't know that guy. I don't know who he is. I don't know where he came from. I don't have no kind of connection with him no more

This is a weird feeling in my life I have to deal with, not being a violent man anymore when my whole life's reputation was built on being extremely violent. I just don't know how to deal with that right now. I don't even go to strip clubs no more. I don't know who I am sometimes, but I am not the guy I used to be. I'm not an angel or anything. I'm still lascivious, periodically. I'm just looking for some balance in my life

I'm just a sucker even talking to you guys. I should be ready to rip your heads off your necks. But it's just not the right thing to do

I didn't know how to be any other way. I felt like one of those barbarian kings just coming to conquer the Roman Empire

My life's not tragic at all. How many guys do you know who are bankrupt and just bought a $3 million house and are getting ready to get $6 million more?

I'm just trying to change my life because I'm not above killing any drug dealer for money

Don't be surprised if I behave like a savage. I am a savage

It's nothing personal, but I'm going to kill this guy

[Cus D'Amato] told me, 'You're the type of guy who has to be hurt to learn.' I'm pissed off today because he was right about everything

I've been a prima-donna. I was taken care of since I was 13. That's why I am the way I am today. I was spoiled, like a brat. I had anything I wanted. That's crazy to be that way all your life. Everybody's taking care of you, but manipulating you at the same time. Very few people have a life like that. Most people have to work like slaves their whole lives. I've never had a job in my life. What I know how to do is hurt big, tough men - in the street and off

I want someone to attack me. No weapons. Just me and him. I like to beat men and beat them bad

I was hittin' him with body punches and I hurt him. Actually he was cryin' in there, makin' woman gestures like

That's all they said was wrong with me?

Glen Rice is a wonderful man. He's a wonderful guy, but you want her to be with somebody like [Dennis] Rodman getting up in there. Pushing her guts up into the back of her head

\' This white woman came up to me, and I'm thinking, WOW. When I was a kid, she would have been robbed and raped and left for dead. This is a real strange scenario, and I just wanted to cry. I'm like, \'Who am I? Where's my heritage?\'

I don't want to be grotesque, but when you're 330 pounds, it's hard to wipe your ass. You know?

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

I could have knocked him out in the 3rd round but I wanted to do it slowly, So he would remember this night for a long time.

I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'am going to strip them of their health. I bring pain a lot of pain

He didn't have no respect as a professional fighter should, no class. I was going to make him pay with his health for everything he said... I wanted to do it very slowly. I wanted him to remember this for a long time.

There's no way I would want to hurt him or bust him up. That's why, for the sake of the family as well as himself, I will take him out in the opening round.
