Never follow the crowd.
It's no good being too easily swayed by people's opinions. You have to believe in yourself.
All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.
As far as things I avoid, I always avoid following trends just because they're trends.
Don't let people talk you into what they think is you.
You can't live in someone else's shoes; you've got to branch out and fill your own shoes.
I never tried to emulate my father. Anyone trying to do that would be a second-rate carbon copy.
I always tried to be different from everyone else. Then I found out about boxing. That was the way I could be different from everyone else. I always went against the crowd.
I understand it's difficult but you've got to think about yourself, you know, and not just follow the crowd.
Being unique is never easy, and often, by the time culture catches up with you, there are only a few people who notice.
If you follow the same path as everyone else you're just going to be like everyone else.
I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.
