Lewis Belding: I got 18 people in my hotel! Where are they gonna go? The Stranger: Out.
Jerry Lee Lewis: [to next act] Get yourselves a pine box, boys. Nobody follows The Killer!
Any outfit that has to beg its listeners for money is an organization that has to constantly please its listeners or it will dry up and go away. It shouldn't work when you think about it.
I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.
You've got to have a focus. You just fight for money, you get hurt. You focus on the title, you'll just naturally make money doing it.
Well, it takes a certain amount of money. And I've got to see pictures of the person ahead of time. If I don't like the way the person looks I won't do it.
