Boxers Are Very Isolated - Or Isolated

I Had Achieved So Much Success In My Career And Then Had This Spectacular Fall From Grace That Left Me Unemployed And Living In A Town, Los Angeles, That Is Built On Envy. Once You Fall, People Don't Really Root For You To Come Back Again. I'd Go To Restaurants Where I Always Had The Best Table And Half The Time They Wouldn't Even Let Me Pay. And Then When I Stopped Making Movies, The Same Places Wouldn't Even Give Me A Lousy Table, Never Mind The Best One!

The Two Sports Are As Different As Ping-pong And Rugby. In Boxing, You Don’t Know What’s Going To Happen. In Wrestling, It’s Already Prearranged. But The Thing I Didn’t Know About Wrestling Is That You Really Get Hurt. Because, You Know, You’re Wrestling In Front Of A Live Audience, And You End Up Doing Things Like Jumps Or Slams, And 40 Percent Of The Time You Don’t Land Right.

Acting Was Never My First Choice As A Profession, But I Came To Terms With It When I Decided I Better Buckle Down And Be The Best I Can Be At It.

Years Ago I Realized That Maybe I Made Mistake, Politically, When I Turned A Lot Of That Stuff Down. I Would Go Off To Obscure Places And Make Movies That Six People Went To See.

I'm The Worst Surfer In California. My Balance Is Off From Boxing.
