There's nothing to fear but fear itself. It's an illusion of fear. Fear is an illusion. If you gonna die, you gonna die anyway it's not something to fear, fear is not gonna help.

More quotes by Mike Tyson
Fighters are never who they appear to be
Mike Tyson
Tupac Shakur always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did...That's my biggest regret.
Mike Tyson
When you have something in life that you want to accomplish greatly, you have to be willing to give up your happiness…I’ve lost all my sensitivity as far as being embarrassed, being shy, you just have to lose that.
Mike Tyson
Everybody in America is so money-hungry. It's like a rat race and even when you win you're still a freaking rat.
Mike Tyson
I like horror movies. Nightmare on Elm Street is my favourite. I even get scared a little bit watching horror.
Mike Tyson
I'm not used to sensitivity any more. When I see people cry when I lose, save your tears. I don't know how to handle people crying any more. I lost my sensitivity like that. Please, you embarrass me when you cry because I don't know what to do when you cry. I don't know what to say.
Mike Tyson
No one who isn't an extremist can understand the mind of an extremist.
Mike Tyson
If they don't have that extreme addict personality, you can never understand how a guy can blow 300 or 400 million dollars. If I have to live at the top of the world, I also have to live at the bottom of the ocean. I don't know how to live in the middle of life.
Mike Tyson
I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say.
Mike Tyson
I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.
Mike Tyson
I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off.
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
I'll go back and take what the people owe me.
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
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
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
On stage it's just a wild setting - we have a big screen - hecklers, I'm fighting. It's entertainment, but I want to pierce [the audience's] souls and have them think about what I have to say.
Mike Tyson
He didn't have no respect as a professional fighter should, no class. I was going to make him pay with his health for everything he said... I wanted to do it very slowly. I wanted him to remember this for a long time.
Mike Tyson
I could have knocked him out in the 3rd round but I wanted to do it slowly, So he would remember this night for a long time.
Mike Tyson
God, it would be good to be a fake somebody rather than a real nobody.
Mike Tyson
