Mickey Rourke
I trained like an animal, but the thing is focus and concentration. When the bell rings it's like when the little red light goes on over the camera. And I can usually nail my lines on the first or second take because I'm right there.
Mickey Rourke
I get a call, and it's Howard Bingham, and he's got the champ on the line.Muhammad Ali didn't remember me from being a kid, but he was going, Yeah, you're in bed, and you want your mama with you . . . It really helped so much. He spent 15 or 20 minutes on the phone with me. That's a memory that I'll always cherish.
