Mike Tyson
 Now I'm here. Imagine if I'd kept screwing around those six years. I'd have been in the same place I was. In jail. Or dead. One of those. |
| [After biting Evander Holyfield] This is my career. I have children to raise. I have to retaliate. He butted me. Look at me. My kids will be scared of me. |
| [Fuller then asked his client if the woman had made any comment about his direct approach.] She said, 'That's kind of bold,' ... I said, 'That's the way I am. I just want to know what I'm getting before I'm getting into it.' |
| [He] called me a 'rapist' and a 'recluse.' I'm not a recluse. |
| [It's impossible to plumb his psyche, for his public outings have been infrequent and brief, even though the practice of his craft and the prosperity of his business would seem to demand the opposite. Tyson is frequently a no-show at the very press conferences that are designed to hype his boxing comeback and plump his pay-per-view contract. The workouts that might whet the public's appetite for his fights are usually closed. But when he does show his face and when he does speak, the effect is alarming. Even as crowds were forming in Las Vegas last week to buy tickets to see him fight WBC heavyweight champion Frank Bruno of Britain -- to see him begin the battle to regain the unified title he last held six years ago -- Tyson was displaying a self-pity that ought to energize armchair shrinks everywhere.] I never dwell on who cares about me, ... I think no one cares about me. |
| [John Corbett is an interesting man, albeit one bursting with contradictions. He's reportedly a born-again Christian, but he's living in sin with his girlfriend Bo Derek. He's reportedly] quit ... I'm always the boyfriend. I want to be in a movie with dudes. |
| [On his childhood] One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard. |
| [On Tyrell Biggs' complaining to him about low blows] Low blows? Low blows? Huh! Motherfucker you're fittin' to die! |
| [Tyson and Ruddock wasted no time testing each other. Before the opening bell Ruddock bounced around the ring, seemingly eager to begin, while Tyson eyed his foe with a small smile.] I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight, ... That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them. |
| [Tyson didn't either. It was not the result of some exchange but simply a straight shot at an unprotected chin. It happened so quickly that Tyson was surprised to see Botha go down.] I thought he must have quit, ... I didn't even know I'd thrown it. |
| [Tyson finally struck back when an older boy tried to steal one of the pigeons he was raising.] I don't know what possessed me to fight, but it was my first fight and I kicked the living crap out of him, ... When I started hitting him, I was loving it. I let so much frustration out. |
| and I'd like to think it was because of environmental reasons, but I don't really believe that. |
| 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. |
| Aw, he stopped fighting after the fifth round, ... After that he was just in there to survive. |
| Early in his career, when he believed in himself, he said things in a controlled way, very Spartan words, honorable words. Even when he talked about driving a guy's nose into his brain, he didn't mean that in a disparaging way. To him that was something Jack Dempsey might say. He thought it was sportsmanlike, glorious. But now, when he sees himself slipping, he's grabbing for something he never thought he needed before, a stick to take into the ring. |
