If you want to talk to me, you'll have to put out that cigarette.

Probably the best thing that happened to me was going nuts. Nobody knew who I was until that happened.

Nutrition makes me puke.

I've had 117 fights and that's the first time I've ever won.

I asked my doctor how many more years I have left and he said, 'You're too ornery to die.'

I feel great. I had a triple bypass in 1976 and a quadruple bypass in 1984.

I'm the gooney bird that walked to the bank. I'm doing better than most of those guys who said I was crazy.

We should have won the pennant that year. It was the best club I was ever on.

You touch me and I'll kick you in the rear.

I didn't get hurt in the contest. I hurt it the next day.
