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.

Mohammed was not an apparent failure. He was a dazzling success, politically as well as spiritually, and Islam went from strength to strength to strength.

That would be something I would stress the most to any artist - is, number one, don't ever allow, you know, success or whatever you want to call it to determine your worth as an artist or as a person. That's number one. And number two, do it because you love it.

The one thing that makes me feel super lucky about my financial success is that I have a housekeeper.

The key to success is action, and the essential in action is perseverance.
