• I don't have to be that gentleman ["baddest man on the planet"] anymore. Now I have to be "this" guy.

But 20 years from now, I may need a different persona.

• Fighting is spiritual. It appears to be physical from the layman's eyes.

I can hear everybody talking around me outside of the ring. I can see everybody. I know what is going on.

  6 Copy quote

• When I'm on stage, I'm not me playing me. I'm somebody else doing me. I could never go on stage and be like, "Hey, I'm Mike Tyson. My mother and father was in the sex industry." That's the politically correct way to say it, but I would really say, "My mother and father were pimps and whores. This is my life." I could never do that as Mike Tyson. Because I'd feel sorry for myself. But if I could be objective about it and be somebody else, portraying Mike Tyson, saying this story, then it's easy sailing.
