I'm easygoing. There's a place and time for everything. When that bell rings, I'm not nice and easy. I'm not meek and passive.

When I get finished with fighting, I hope they ask the same questions. It's not my purpose to answer them. Boxing is the art of self-defense. I knock 'em out the first chance I get.

I don't want anybody guarding me. I want to be free; I want to be left alone... I would like to go out there and have no one know me, but at the same time, it would bother me, y'know.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.

I don't like to get in front of people.

I was really stuck in the whole Farah Fawcett hairdo long after it was past being in fashion.
