More quotes by Mike Tyson
It's just what I'm born to do, I'm born to entertain people. I could do it for thirty-thousand people or three people, it's just what I know how to do. My soul objective only is for me to have the audience say 'when's the next time I can see him?' That's what I do.
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
I tried to stay away from King. You can't do it. It's like staying away from taxes. Sooner or later, he'll get you.
Mike Tyson
There are not many regrets that I have. There are a few things that I wish I'd changed in my life, but they are not so dramatic that I'd go out of my way to change them. But I go back and think about my life so far periodically in my head.
Mike Tyson
I don't want to be grotesque, but when you're 330 pounds, it's hard to wipe your a-. You know?
Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson
Whatever my situation, I'm a strong disciplinarian I can do what I hate to do but do it like I love it.
Mike Tyson
God, it would be good to be a fake somebody rather than a real nobody.
Mike Tyson
Sometimes, the people we invest the most time in disappoint us the most.
Mike Tyson
I know why they don't like me because they want the money I have.
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'll go back and take what the people owe me.
Mike Tyson
A man that is a friend to everyone is an enemy to himself.
Mike Tyson
You come home, and you party. But after that, you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.
Mike Tyson
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 never wanted to do anything else but fight, when I was a kid. I never had any broader perspective of my own perspective. I didn't know anything about anything else. I just wanted to fight until I could fight no more, and then I wanted to own a bar and drink and tell war stories.
Mike Tyson
I am not a role model.
Mike Tyson
Boxing brought me money and fame, but it never brought me no happiness.
Mike Tyson
My style was impetuous, my defenses were impregnable, and I was ferocious.
Mike Tyson
At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see.
Mike Tyson
