I'm scared every time I go into the ring, but it's how you handle it. What you have to do is plant your feet, bite down on your mouthpiece and say, 'Let's go.'

I knew that whatever I set my mind to do. I could do.

The triumph can't be had without the struggle.

Believe me, the reward is not so great without the struggle.

No matter what great things you accomplish, somebody helps you.

When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.

My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.

'I can't' are two words that have never been in my vocabulary. I believe in me more than anything in this world.

In order for me to achieve... I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.

Any man can do what he has to do. But doing it like you love it? That is what takes it to a whole different level. A champion does it like he loves it, even when he doesn't.

There's nothing to fear but fear itself. It's an illusion of fear. Fear is an illusion. If you gonna die, you gonna die anyway; it's not something to fear, fear is not gonna help.

There's nothing like confidence.

We all have to control our feelings. That's the thing that separates us from animals.

People love you when you're successful, but if you're not, who really cares about you?

My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.

I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.

I'm a bad guy. But if I was a good guy, nobody would want to pay to see me fight.

I try my best to learn from other people's mistakes. I have a lot of respect for people who can change.

You need to learn independence. You have to be independent - it builds character.
