When I was growing up, I always wanted to do well in boxing. I wanted to look after my parents, and I wanted to look after myself.

I feel good about my first professional fight. I was ready for it, and it was a good win for me.

I was upset about not going to the Olympics. It was a dream of mine, and I'd been working at it for a long time. But I've turned pro now; it's in the past, and there's nothing I can do about it.

With the overhand right in the past, I always got caught. My chin was up, and my shoulder wasn't where it was supposed to be, covering my chin.

I don't eat as much as an athlete should. I just don't like it.

You see so many different personalities and mind-sets in the world of sports, just like you do with actors.

In sports and in business, the greatest leaders are those who make the best decisions in the most crucial of situations. They are the ones who focus their energy on turning tough decisions into winning decisions.

I remember I was playing basketball, and an entire arena was, like, chanting 'Big Foot.' It was a high school game, but... you're constantly being reminded you're bigger; you don't look like everybody. There were days where I would be upset, and, like, I'd cry about it.
