More quotes by Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson
Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.
Mike Tyson
I can talk about humility, but I'm not humble. I mean, if you say, I'm humble, you've just contradicted yourself. But I'm trying to be, man, I'm trying so hard.
Mike Tyson
I don't know, man, I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian.

Sometimes they laugh at things I don't think are funny, but I believe if they're laughing at me, it's a good show.
Mike Tyson
I just have this thing inside me that wants to eat and conquer. Maybe it's egotistical, but I have it in me. I don't want to be a tycoon. I just want to conquer people and their souls.
Mike Tyson
I can quit boxing now and practically go into any kind of business and I'll be successful just as well as I was in boxing.
Mike Tyson
