"Fighting is a sport; if you're not humble it's going to bring humbleness to you."
"To be successful in sports or business, you really have to live the lifestyle. Success is about lifestyle. Just because I was training and working hard, that didn't make me champion or a good fighter. My lifestyle made me a good fighter. In my mind and my daily life, I was the heavy weight champ when I was 15 or 14. I lived the life of the heavyweight champion, and that's who I became. And that is so much more than just training. So, when the time presented itself, that's who I already was. I was ready. I was already there."

"I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds."
"Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did...That's my biggest regret."
"Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but nonetheless doing it like you love it."
"Fear is the greatest obstacle to learning. But fear is your best friend. Fear is like fire. If you learn to control it, you let it work for you. If you don’t learn to control it, it’ll destroy you and everything around you. Like a snowball on a hill, you can pick it up and throw it or do anything you want with it before it starts rolling down, but once it rolls down and gets so big, it’ll crush you to death. So one must never allow fear to develop and build up without having control over it, because if you don’t you won’t be able to achieve your objective or save your life."
"As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want."
