I've been in a few fights where I keep drilling guys - Carl Froch, those sort of people - and they just keep coming.

I've definitely changed as a person because of professional boxing.

I've good memories of fighting at the Echo Arena. It's been a happy hunting ground for me in the past.

Wembley Arena has been a successful stomping ground in the past.

A poet in history is divine, but a poet in the next room is a joke.

I think empathy is romantic. I think humor is romantic. Kindness is romantic. I think those kind of gestures of caring and love are romantic.

Someone said Anderson Silva and GSP would be a $12 million fight. I told people that for $12 million, I'd fight them both right now. At the same time. People took that as 'He's going to fight again.' It was a joke. But if you came up with $12 million, yeah, of course I will fight again.

I can't write a joke. I could never write. I do a lot of stories and I call them stories, but they're just comedy recitals on a given subject.
