I never look at a high point in my career. Everyone thinks about the Spinks fight, but that fight only lasted 91 seconds, so it's hard to say it defined my career.

I live for the moment to hit people.
Mike Tyson
Sometimes during a relationship, a friendship, a friend's gonna have to prove they're your friend, and you're gonna have to prove you're their friend.
Mike Tyson
Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.
Mike Tyson
In the scheme of life, in emotion and loss, I responded the way I did. I lost. I shouldn't have responded that way. I've had some people tell me that I did a great thing - sticking up for myself - but to me, personally, with the way that I handled my emotions, I lost. But I learned. That will not happen again.
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 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.
Mike Tyson
I'm the biggest fighter in the history of the sport. If you don't believe it, check the cash register.
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 had to persevere because this was my life. This championship, this was the stuff I dreamt of all my life, and I wasn't gonna be denied.
Mike Tyson
Our money is bait money, and bait money is not to be used.
Mike Tyson
Most fighters are the most humble people in the world because they've gotten their ass kicked before.
Mike Tyson
I guess I'm going to fade into Bolivian.
Mike Tyson
I'm just happy I'm not a phoney.
Mike Tyson
Treat the world the way you want to be treated.
Mike Tyson
Greatness is not guarding yourself from the people, Greatness is being accepted by the people.
Mike Tyson
Most of my fans are too sensitive. I’m a cruel and cold and hard person. I’ve been abused in every way you can imagine. Save your tears. I lost my sensitivity. You embarrass me when you cry.
Mike Tyson
