Mike Tyson Quotes

• I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I’m going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain.
• God, it would be good to be a fake somebody, rather than a real nobody.
• If I do a stage show with a big screen, it’s because I guess people think I’m a notable guy. That’s what I want to do. I love entertaining people. That’s what links boxing and acting.

• As a young kid, I used to watch boxing films and I would stop the film when I’d see something I liked – the way he bowed, the way he’d hit somebody, or the way he stood with his belt – and I would rewind it and emulate it. Over and over again. I liked the villains best because you never forgot them.
• I’m a Muslim, but I think Jesus would have a drink with me. He would be cool. He would talk to me.

• [6/11/05, on his loss to Irish boxer Kevin McBride] I felt like I was 120 years old. I don’t think I have it anymore.
• [He] called me a ‘rapist” and a ‘”reclulse”. I’m not a recluse.
• I guess I’m gonna fade into Bolivian.
• When I was in prison, I was wrapped up in all those deep books – that [Leo Tolstoy] crap. People shouldn’t read that stuff. When we read those books, what purpose does it serve in this day and time?
