Understand that I'm at my best when it comes to proving a point, not only to show that I'm a better fighter and a better athlete at 40½ years old, but I'm at my best when I know I've got to beat the system again.

Don’t try to prove that anybody is foolish because fools don’t like it. Don’t try to prove to a madman that he is mad, because no madman likes it. He will get angry, arrogant, aggressive. He will kill you if you prove too much. If you come to the point where it can be proved, he will take revenge.

It is better to be foolish yourself, then people enjoy you, and then by a very subtle methodology you can help them change. Then they are not against you.

If you have to shout to prove your point, you're probably wrong.

We weren't even ranked coming into the season, so we're trying to prove a point. We want to keep proving that point - that we're for real.

I can't say I'm angry. I just don't understand it, when it's so obvious that my father was not a racist.
