Boxing is a sport. We allow each other to hit each other, but I'm not treating my opponent like my enemy. We're doing a job to entertain people.

I was just doing my job in the ring and doing my best to make people happy.

Boxing is not about your feelings. It's about performance.

I've already established my (political)machinery. It's like a car. It's fixed already. You just have to get in and drive it.

I have no one at my side except God and His angels. I pray to God that He will turn my enemies into pillars of salt.

What I mean is that none of my talents had a - what's that great word - rubric. A singer, an actor, a dancer - there was nothing I could really say I was. The writing came much later. And, actually, thank God, because if I had said I'm a singer, I would really have just had one thing to do.

God's reasons for communicating with man must be subsumed under his reason for communicating to him his account of his creation of the world - and man.

God forbid we keep a couple secrets in this day and age!
