But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

We're not cameras, we're artists.

If you're not balanced, your mind's not balanced... my fuse went.

Color harmony was thrown out years ago, as restrictive chains were broken forming my free style.

When I came into boxing, I brought it to the next level with adverts and doing pantomime and people just got jealous of me doing that.

Some people like going to the pub; I enjoy going to the gym.

Strong line quality, composition and form are more crucial although even this is loosely done.

Instead of using brushes all the time, try a palette knife to paint.

But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

While most students were trying to draw one beautiful finished piece, I would be in the background drawing dozens of studies at different angles to use later.

I like going to the gym every day.

I ain't got no right to judge someone.

I usually have a title in mind before I start.

And I want to say anything is possible. Comma. You know.

The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict.

For example, I like using strong Greek and Roman Renaissance characters as part of my series.

From my sketch files I'll find a pose that shows the emotion behind a particular character's story.

Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world.

I wouldn't mind getting emotionally involved with a woman.

I usually use quick sketches that I accumulated from the figure drawing classes I once instructed.

I chose faces and figures as my subject matter simply due to the fact that the human form is already beautiful art.

The colors I use may clash or vibrate against one another but this is done intentionally.

Being sectioned was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn't going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it.

Boxing is the toughest and loneliest sport in the world. You've got all the fans, lots of hangers-on jumping up and shouting different words. But when you actually go in the ring, it's a very lonely and scary place. It's just you and the other guy.

I am just working on staying alive.

I didn't play a great deal of sport in primary school. It was not until I went away to boarding school in Sussex that I really got into sport.

I speak African. I can even speak Italian.

I still believe in marriage.

I try and maintain a little bit of fitness, man.

I want to stay healthy, keep fit, eat well, keep a low profile and be a good dad.

I'm not really a cutter-off sort of person. I'll chat to anybody.

If you say you've had a nervous breakdown or things aren't right mentally, people run away from you. They think you're from 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest,' you know.

If your brain's not right they have good people at the NHS to help you fix it and talk to and counselling to calm you down and to focus you.

Mental illness can happen to anybody. You can be a dustman, a politician, a Tesco worker... anyone. It could be your dad, your brother or your aunt.

Mental illness is a very powerful thing. If it is with you it is probably going to be there until the day you die. I am trying so hard to break mine, but it is not easy. It is my toughest fight ever.

My head has got regrets, but I haven't.

People take the mickey out of mental health, but it is very delicate.

Sometimes when you have bipolar you have days you are grumpy and not feeling yourself.

Sometimes your dreams come true.

When you're a man you try and be macho.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

For now, I'm just going to hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here, but I sure like the view.

When so many are lonely as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone.

Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causing you to bump into people not going your way.

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

I'm never getting too lonely because it's the kind of disease where you might sit in front of the TV with three bags of biscuits, rather than communicate with the world.

I'm not afraid to be lonely at the top.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.
