Mike Tyson

When I fight someone, I want to break his will. I want to take his manhood. I want to rip out his heart and show it to him.

I'm going to gut you like a fish.

I know I'm going to blow one day. My life is doomed the way it is. I have no future.

The drug dealers, they sympathize with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character.

I don't react to a tragic happening any more. I took so many bad things as a kid and some people think I don't care about anything. It's just too hard for me to get emotional. I can't cry no more.

I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say.

When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.

I don't understand why people would want to get rid of pigeons. They don't bother no one.

Im just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life too.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Without discipline, no matter how good you are, you are nothing! One day, and I might not be around; you're going to meet a tough guy who takes your best shot. He'll keep coming because he's tough. Don't get discouraged. That's when the discipline comes in.

I feel bad about my outlook, how I feel about people and society, and that I'll never be part of society the way I should.

I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.

I can inspire people on how to use money, how to get economically powerful.

I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.

I'm a Muslim, but I think Jesus would have a drink with me. He would be cool. He would talk to me.

Some people try to get you out of slavery for you to be their slave.

Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn't have a cent.

I think I'll take a bath in his blood.

Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her.

The only thing I do is just pray for inspiration, for a way of thinking, because I don't have any particular goal in sight.

I just want to do what I do best, and that's fight. I love it.

I'm not much for talking. You know what I do. I put guys in body bags when I'm right.

God lets everything happen for a reason. Its all a learning process and you have to go from one level to another.

I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.

I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too.

You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.

That's what people respect, the fact that I wasn't a chump that laid on his back and gave up.

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

You come home and you party. But after that you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.

If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me?

As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.

I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.

I'm a nut case, but that is what I believe.

I'm a historian, and that freaks me out.

One day some guy is going to get a billion-dollar fight.

You can't stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.

I've lived places these guys can't defecate in.

I'm just happy I'm not a phony.

I'm not Mother Teresa, but I'm not Charles Manson, either.

You have to have a bunch of dimensions of yourself. You have to be able to adapt in this world. You can't be a nice guy living in a world of savages.

That equals to being a fool, having fame and no fortune. A lot of guys out there have fame doing this and doing that, but they are broke.

Every punch was thrown with bad intentions.

I just look around and say, I'm a mess. I don't know why I do things.

You cant stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.

I try to catch them right on the tip of his nose, because I try to punch the bone into the brain.

I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.

Quayle said the worst thing that happened to him was that he never trusted his own judgment. I said from now on I am going to go with my own judgment.

I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off.

I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.

I intend to fight and I want to win. But my priorities are basically to be a good Brother and a strong one, and to try to be a good father one day.

It's the emotional punches that you can't see that are just overwhelmingly devastating to your heart - your moral fiber.

I'm in trouble because I'm normal and slightly arrogant. A lot of people don't like themselves and I happen to be totally in love with myself.

I love to hit people. I love to.

That equals to being a fool having fame and no fortune. A lot of guys out there have fame doing this and doing that but they are broke.

People are going to say what they say. I know sometimes I say things; I offend people.

Mr. Arthur Ashe, he was good. I read some of his books. He knew about everything, but he was real quiet and didn't talk much. I never met him.

I'll go back and take what the people owe me.

I think the average person thinks I'm a nut and I deserve whatever happens to me.

Hard times fall upon everybody. Whatever it is were going to get out of it.

You cant be disturbed by anything. Theres no emotion involved. You cant feel sorrow you cant feel pity theres nothing you feel. The job has to be done.

I was hoping he would get up so I could hit him again and keep him down.

Everybody's got plans... until they get hit.

God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another.

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

Sometimes I put on a ski mask and dress in old clothes, go out on the streets and beg for quarters.

Our money is bait money, and bait money is not to be used.

I feel like sometimes that I was not meant for this society.

When I was in prison, I was wrapped up in all those deep books. That Tolstoy crap - people shouldn't read that stuff.

I just want to conquer people and their souls.

Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.

It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you're reading.

I know how hard it is to be a woman, especially a black woman.

Every time there's a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.

I just want to be humble at all times.

If you’re not humble, life will visit humbleness upon you.

When you see me smash somebody's skull, you enjoy it.
