“I have an understanding of Queen and the way Freddie Mercury did his harmonies. I know what tablas sound like, because my father played a lot of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.”

“It's a massive undertaking putting an album together... It's not light weight at all.”

“Some stuff I don't even put out. I'll just be home, happy, creating something for myself, and then ball it up and throw it in the trash.

“I liked Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ali... those were the guys I was looking at growing up.”

“Joe Frazier's life didn't start with Ali. I was a Golden Gloves champ. Gold medal in Tokyo '64. Heavyweight champion of the world long before I fought Ali in the Garden.”

“Mike Tyson would have been a good sparring partner for me and Muhammad Ali because Tyson was a fast fighter and he could punch and throw good combinations.”
