More quotes by Mike Tyson
Friendth, Romanth, countrymen, lend me your earsth.
Mike Tyson
Man is not meant to be humble, he’s meant to be humbled.
Mike Tyson
My style was impetuous, my defenses were impregnable, and I was ferocious.
Mike Tyson
I can deal with adversity.
Mike Tyson
The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves.
Mike Tyson
You can't be everybody's friend, you can't save the world, I learned this word: self-preservation. Once you do that, you can be friends with people, but how would you be a friend to anybody if you're not a friend to yourself.
Mike Tyson
I like entertaining people. I like being on stage. I like being in the life. This is what I do. This is the only thing I know how to do besides rob people and fight. Even when I was robbing people, I was entertaining them. But that's just what I love doing.
Mike Tyson
Box gap is not a thing. If you need to back up to a mirror and bend over to find out how you look, you are playing to the wrong audience.
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
He was screaming like my wife.
Mike Tyson
I hate to cry and I hate to sound like sour grapes, but no one ever listens to me. No one ever hears what I have to say.
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
Most writers, in my opinion, are dysfunctional derelicts.
Mike Tyson
[Cus D'Amato] told me, 'You're the type of guy who has to be hurt to learn.' I'm pissed off today because he was right about everything.
Mike Tyson
The drug dealers, they sympathize with me. They see me as some sort of pathetic character.
Mike Tyson
These pigeons have been living with each other for 10 or 15 years, but when I throw feed down, they kill each other to get it, and it's the same with the fighters. We love and respect each other...but we need that money.
Mike Tyson
I'm not afraid to be a jerk or anything and laugh at myself anymore.
Mike Tyson
Nietzsche's my favorite. He's just insane.
Mike Tyson
Common sense is so very simple but very difficult to grasp.
Mike Tyson
I always had a lot of responsibilities. I just didn't take them. I just decided to take care of my responsibilities, live up to them. That's a pretty interesting job. It's harder than being heavyweight champion of the world.
