The only time it is awkward for me is when a teacher calls up and say we have a problem with George, and I have to ask them which one."

"As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I'd get locked in a grocery store."

"I never did anything for personal gain. When I was a boxer, I wanted to be champion of the world, not the richest man in the world. If you can maintain that integrity in whatever you do, you can't go wrong. That's what I tell my kids, anyway."
