People look at me as some bruiser, but I want to entertain people. I want people to applaud. I want to be the cause of people being happy, their emotions changing, to tell me I did a good performance.

More quotes by 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 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
Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
Mike Tyson
As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.
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
The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves.
Mike Tyson
The mind is a real dangerous neighborhood to travel by ourselves.
Mike Tyson
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.
Mike Tyson
I'm doing what great artists before me did, like Judy Garland, Sammy Davis, Eddie Cantor. I'm doing what they were doing, not at their level yet, but one day I will be. I'm just happy to be in their company.
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
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
My intentions were not to fascinate the world with my personality.
Mike Tyson
People are going to say what they say. I know sometimes I say things I offend people.
Mike Tyson
I got a imam, I got a rabbi, I got a priest, I got a reverend - I got 'em all. But I don't want to be holier-than-thou. I want to help everybody and still get some (sex).
Mike Tyson
In order to succeed greatly, you have to be prepared to fail greatly. If you can't do both of them, you've got a problem.
Mike Tyson
Destroy or be destroyed! I just love that way of life!
Mike Tyson
My power is discombobulatingly devastating. It's ludricrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.
Mike Tyson
I don't understand why people would want to get rid of pigeons. They don't bother no one.
Mike Tyson
I guess I'm going to fade into Bolivian.
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
