I'm not about trying to hand pick my fights and tip toe around the competition.
London cabs always dis me. I purposefully give them a good tip because I'm trying to straighten up the image where they don't want to pick up some shady-looking, bummy kid like myself. I'm trying to teach them that if you pick up the bummy-looking kid, you still get tipped, man. But they still jerk me around.
People come to me and they're like, 'You're hand picking fighters.' I don't pick my fights.
In New York, we tip everyone. We tip doormen, we tip cab drivers, and we tip bartenders at the bar. You'll get quite an evil eye if you don't leave a tip at the bar.
It's hard to keep your balance standing tip-toe.
He who walks on tip-toe does not walk on solid ground.
I have always felt that no climb is worth losing the tip of a little toe.
The essence of a sculpture must enter on tip-toe, as light as animal footprints on snow.
Boxing is not always about standing in the middle going toe to toe. It's about poise and grace under extreme pressure.
Over the course of six amateur fights and two professional fights I learned a lot about how to get things done, how to pick myself up after disappointment, how to work through frustration and how to process moments of success.
Standing toe to toe with another fighter, I could probably do well, but a smart fighter is not going to stand toe to toe with me, and they're going to move to a weakness.
With amateur boxing, you're just entered into a competition. And to be the best, you've got to beat the best. You're not waiting around to get these fights organised.
No matter what language you speak, music can relate to you in some way, and when that 'Tip Toe' beat drops, it can instantly do something to you. It has the power to move you.
I like my chances toe to toe with just about anybody.
I never picked fights. I'm never going to start to pick fights. If they ask me to fight someone, I'll say yes.
People should be left to believe what they like, so long as they harm no one else. Apart from normal expectations of politeness, it is not however clear why people should require their personal beliefs to be treated with special sensitivity by others, to the point that if others fail to tip-toe respectfully around them they will start throwing bombs.
A person like me... isn't even worth the tip of a toe. I can't even compare to half.
