Persistently disregardless
So often, when Mike Tyson speaks, my jaw drops. Imagine my delight when I checked out the New York Times this morning and discovered a Tyson profile. The following quotes are the highlights:
"Don't rob me of my hate, It's all I have left.''
"When I had money, I was an animal."
"I was so belligerent, I was so cantankerous, so persistently disregardless. I wasn't that nice of a person. Just because you buy mansions and cars doesn't mean you know what money is worth."
"My life has been a total waste.''
"Life's lessons are priceless. There isn't enough money to purchase the lessons I've learned."
(that's a funny statement considering Tyson is about $23 million in the hole after making $400 million in his career)
"I miss the Louvre. I was there three days. I still haven't seen everything!"
Nothing like Tyson's own self-hate to make you feel good about yourself.

[To Lennox Lewis:]
My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat your children. Praise be to Allah.
