am many things. I am an animal. I am a convicted rapist, a hell-raiser,
a loving father, and a semi-good husband. You don't really know me." "I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating." "If
I take this camera and put it in your face for 20 years, I don't know
what you might be. You might be a homosexual if I put that camera on
you since you were 13 years old. I've been on that camera since I was
13 years old." "Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is
impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want
your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!" "I
want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to
kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children." "I
paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin.
When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla
there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but
their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant
$10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He
declined." "My power is discombobulating devastating I could feel
his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these
mortals even attempt to enter my realm." “I want to throw down
your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is
like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you
feel my pain.” [To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going
to win this fight and I feel confident about winning this fight. I
normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them.
So you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know." "The
one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not
true with themselves. All of these people who are heroes, these guys
who have been lily white and clean all their lives, if they went
through what I went through, they would commit suicide. They don't have
the heart that I have. I've lived places they can't defecate in." "I'm
not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson!" "Fear is
your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can
control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't
control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you
can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming
across the lawn." "I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden
fruits in life, too. I think it's un-American not to go out with a
woman, not to be with a beautiful woman, not to get my dick sucked ...
It's just what I said before, everybody in this country is a big
f**king liar. [The media] tells people ... that this person did this
and this person did that and then we find out that were just human and
we find out that Michael Jordan cheats on his wife just like everybody
else and that we all cheat on our **king wife in one way or another
either emotionally, physically or sexually or one way." "There's
no one perfect. We're always gonna do that. Jimmy Swaggart is
lascivious, Mike Tyson is lascivious -- but we're not criminally, at
least I'm not, criminally lascivious. You know what I mean. I may like
to fornicate more than other people -- it's just who I am. I sacrifice
so much of my life, can I at least get laid? I mean, I been robbed of
my most of my money, can I at least get [oral sex] without the people
wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in
jail?" "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'm the most irresponsible person in the
world. The reason I'm like that is because, at 21, you all gave me $50
or $100 million, and I didn't know what to do. I'm from the ghetto. I
don't know how to act. One day I'm in a dope house robbing somebody.
The next thing I know, 'You're the heavyweight champion of the world.'
... Who am I? What am I? I don't even know who I am. I'm just a dumb
child. I'm being abused. I'm being robbed by lawyers. I think I have
more money than I do. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool
who thinks I'm someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?" I have no idea why no one has done a reality show on Mike yet. That would be the highest
rated show ever. 1-Allen Iverson on practice: “We
are talking about practice…. Practice….not the game…not the game I will
die for…We talking about practice…Practice…What are we talking
about???? Practice…
