On Fans
To a question on whether he feels support from the common fan: "I don't feel love from them because there's no love. They don't know me as an individual; they know me for what I actually do. Because they pay to see me smash anybody. If they're white they pay, [it's] because the only thing they have respect for is my ability as an athlete. But if I was in court and I had to use them to testify against me on my character, they wouldn't testify positively against me and they would think I'm a cad…“
”There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right.“
”I think the average person thinks I'm a f**king nut and I deserve whatever happens to me. That's what I believe.“
”When you see me smash somebody's skull, you enjoy it.“
On His Wife
”I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined.“
”Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her."
On Lennox Lewis
“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”
"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!“
”My main objective is to be professional but to kill him.“
”I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.“
On Evander Holyfield
”You got nothing coming, man. I'm going to enjoy this fight.“
After biting Holyfield he said, ”This is my career. I have children to raise. I have to retaliate. He butted me. Look at me. My kids will be scared of me.“
”I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened."
