For what I get paid to get into the ring, I owe it to my fans to uphold the institution of sportsmanship.

People look at me as some bruiser, but I want to entertain people. I want people to applaud. I want to be the cause of people being happy, their emotions changing, to tell me I did a good performance.

I have to always make sure I don't stay in one place and spend too much time one subject. I have my wife tell me [through an earpiece], 'Come back! You're taking too long on that subject.' I need to be reeled in.

Sometimes they laugh at things I don't think are funny, but I believe if they're laughing at me, it's a good show.

On stage it's just a wild setting - we have a big screen - hecklers, I'm fighting. It's entertainment, but I want to pierce [the audience's] souls and have them think about what I have to say.

I'm trying to figure things out in the world. No one knows what this life thing is all about - there's no manual. Just trying to figure it out.

Mike Tyson 419 quotes

Some people are faster than others; I'm just figuring it out later, that's all. I'm getting smart too late and old too soon.

I'm doing what great artists before me did, like Judy Garland, Sammy Davis, Eddie Cantor. I'm doing what they were doing, not at their level yet, but one day I will be. I'm just happy to be in their company.

I don't want anyone to have to interview me. I wish I didn't have to talk too much about myself.

Becoming a vegan gave me another opportunity to live a healthy life. I was so congested from all the drugs and bad cocaine, I could hardly breathe, [I had] high blood pressure, [was] almost dying [and had] arthritis. And once I became a vegan all that stuff diminished,

Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.

People tell me I'm a comedian,...

People tell me I'm a comedian, but I don't approach acting from that perspective. I do know that everything in life has to do with your timing and perception. You have to be comfortable with the rhythm that you're in. You can't just jump into a fast rhythm if yours is slow. You might have to pick up the pace but in your own particular way. It has to do with personality, too.

I just did what I did in my era, basically because of my admiration for the guys who came before me. That's how I've always looked at it. I never thought of boxing like, I'm going to be the greatest fighter ever and make a lot of money. Instead, I thought I was going to win because I learned from the best. I carefully studied the videotapes of all the fighters from the past, dissected their styles, and entered the ring with their spirit.

Me? I see an old, broke-ass black guy taking care of a bunch of kids, living life, taking them to school, and all that stuff, who's asking himself: What the hell is this? But I wouldn't give it up for the world because I love my wife. I never expected to have a life like this. No chaos... no confusion... no lawsuits... no violence... no going to jail...

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

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

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?
