“When I lost to Ray Mercer, I was young. I deserved to lose that fight ...” — Tommy Morrison Quote

When I lost to Ray Mercer, I was young. I deserved to lose that fight because I hadn't learned how to cover all the angles in preparation. I was immature.

I'll trust an attorney before I'll trust a doctor.

It's a big move from the 'Tough Man' circuit to professional boxing. When I turned pro, I had to play catch-up and was fighting almost twice a month until I had more than 20 fights under my belt.

I saw a chance to make the 1988 Olympic boxing team and forgot all about football.

I thought I had the potential to be a better fighter than I'd ever be a football player. Besides, it was something my father always wanted me to do. He told me since I was a little kid I was a born fighter.

Pictures are much harder to do than the theater... You're at the mercy of the camera angles and the piecemeal technique.

Those of us raised in modern cities tend to notice horizontal and vertical lines more quickly than lines at other orientations. In contrast, people raised in nomadic tribes do a better job noticing lines skewed at intermediate angles, since Mother Nature tends to work with a wider array of lines than most architects.

We did experiments with the Boston Symphony for many years where we measured the angles of incidence of sound arriving at the ears of the audience, then took the measurements back to MIT and analyzed them.

Hollywood is all made up, anyway. Especially the stories and angles that people want to pin on you.
