“I'm the worst surfer in California. My balance is off from boxing.” — Mickey Rourke Quote

“I'm the worst surfer in California. My balance is off from boxing.”

“A couple of guys won Academy Awards for the things that I turned down. Today, after coming to terms with everything, after being in therapy for a long time-there are areas where I will compromise.”

“I still work out most days. When I do it, I go full blast five or six days a week, two to three hours a day. I enjoy it. It's therapeutic for me.”

“Every boy in a free country ought to be instructed in boxing, wrestling, and the use of weapons. Every young man ought to be drilled. Every householder ought, at least, to have a right to own a rifle, and should know how to make cartridges.”

“I don't get complacent, because I know if you slack off, you're going to be found out. This is international boxing, and every fight is a tough fight.”

“So much of boxing is to do with your mental state. Evander Holyfield talks about spirit. I definitely have that spirit and feel like I've got something special inside me. It's about me bringing it out, controlling it and using it to become world champion.”
