It's nothing personal, but I'm going to kill this guy
Don't be surprised if I behave like a savage. I am a savage
I'm just trying to change my life because I'm not above killing any drug dealer for money
I hope I can improve. I'm far from perfect. Sometimes, I wonder what would happen if I fought myself. I think it would be a one-round KO. But if I was fighting myself, I know I could take my best punch. No, make that two rounds. I would knock myself out in two rounds.
My career has been over since 1990.
Fighters are never who they appear to be
My style was impetuous, my defenses were impregnable, and I was ferocious.
Man is not meant to be humble, he’s meant to be humbled.

I just don't have the desire no more, I don't have the stomach to do it no more. I don't even kill insects in my house. I just don't kill anything no more. I used to kill pigeons, rip their heads off, 'You dirty rat pigeon!' I don't even have the heart to kill an animal no more. I just changed my whole life in general. That probably could have changed the way I fight.
I can't change myself. I'm Mike Tyson. I'm a regular kid from the getto striving to do something positive with myself. I happen to fight well.
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?
Basically I don't care what people think of me. I'm not in the communications business.
I guess I'm going to fade into Bolivian.
