More quotes by Mike Tyson
The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves.
Mike Tyson
In order to be a friend to anybody, you have to be a friend to yourself. If you're not a friend to yourself, there's no way you're gonna have any friends.
Mike Tyson
People relate to fighters so much because fighting reflects life.
Mike Tyson
Fear and the thought of failure . . . But we don't really know what fear is. Fear is something that we create in our own minds. Fear could be like fire. You can use it to heat you up, keep you warm, cook your food. There are so many things you can use it for. But if you allow it to go out of control, it will destroy you and everything around you.
Mike Tyson
You have to have a bunch of dimensions [of yourself]. You have to be able to adapt in this world. You can't be a nice guy living in a world of savages.
Mike Tyson
Fighting is spiritual. It appears to be physical from the layman's eyes. In my fights, I seemed to be angry and mad - all that stuff you saw me doing, the yelling and screaming and being mean in the ring - but I'm cool as a cucumber. I can hear everybody talking around me outside of the ring. I can see everybody. I know what is going on.
Mike Tyson
God, it would be good to be a fake somebody rather than a real nobody.
Mike Tyson
I was in handcuffs. I was under arrest. I remember there was this old lady looking at me, and I could tell she felt real sorry for me, and she did'nt know but all I wanted to do was take her purse.
Mike Tyson
I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.
Mike Tyson
I've lived places these guys can't defecate in.
Mike Tyson
There's nothing like confidence.
Mike Tyson
I'm just a sucker even talking to you guys. I should be ready to rip your heads off your necks. But it's just not the right thing to do
Mike Tyson
Everybody you fight is not your enemy and everybody who helps you is not your friend.
Mike Tyson
I'm not a Republican, but I have some conservative views on certain things. I'm not a Democrat, either. It's just very difficult that these people hate each other over a belief. I think it all comes down to ego and competitiveness.
Mike Tyson
Fighters are never who they appear to be
Mike Tyson
Even though I heard him say he doesn't believe, cuz' that's why from watching Ali gave me the great deal of confidence and deep-down inner belief to believe there's no man fighting that could beat me.
Mike Tyson
I'll go back and take what the people owe me.
Mike Tyson
Anger is my biggest enemy in life.
Mike Tyson
If I was fighting myself, I always say that I would kill Mike Tyson but then again I don't know how hard a punch Mike Tyson can take and I don't know how hard Mike Tyson's punch is. I don't know. For me looking at me, I think I can beat me.
Mike Tyson
Some people are faster than others I'm just figuring it out later, that's all. I'm getting smart too late and old too soon.
