Having patience is one of the hardest things about being human. We want to do it now, and we don't want to wait. Sometimes we miss out on our blessing when we rush things and do it on our own time.
Everybody has their due season. And it's all about what you do in your season.
I was born a leader, never a follower. I never felt peer pressure. If the group goes left, I go right.
I can adapt to any environment or any situation I need to, so I am ready to go to Russia. You take what you get or start crying about it, but I am re-doing 'Rocky IV.' I am doing the black 'Rocky.'
When I went to college, I went to a junior college. I wanted to go to the University of Alabama but had to go to junior college first to get my GPA up. I did a half-year of junior college, then dropped out and had my daughter. College was always an opportunity to go back. But she, my daughter, was my support. I gave up everything for her.
I was raised by both parents up to 17. We had a good family. We had a middle class family, good teaching and good surroundings, raised by the church, where I went every week whether I wanted to or not.
All my prayers go out to Tyson Fury. I know it's difficult to be in his situation.
I'm not going nowhere, no matter who I fight.
Once I knock Szpilka out, I want all the Polish fans to come on the 'Bronze Bomber' train as I bring the heavyweight division back to the top.
People have to realize that God has blessed me with power. He hasn't got me this far for no reason. I feel like God has a plan for me in this sport. That's how I have came up this fast.
Going to Russia is going to be nothing for me. I'm going to treat it like it's the U.S. because, at the end of the day, it's one man, one ring.
Against Bermane Stiverne, they said he was going to be the toughest test, but I passed that with flying colours.
I'm definitely an active champion. I'm looking forward to defending my belt as many times as possible.
I want the people to be able to see me and be able to see a great performance.
My goal is to unify the division. Whoever's got those belts, that's who I want.
I don't see myself being in the sport a very long period of time, so I want to fight as much as possible.
I wanted to show the world what Deontay Wilder is all about. I'm a heavyweight, and I'm exciting.
This is the hardest part for me. Just the waiting - the waiting to fight. The work has all been done, and you just have to wait.
Some guys may play around and say a couple of things, but if I say it, I mean it. I may laugh, it may be funny, but if I say I'm going to get you, I'm going to get you.
I don't just rely on my right hand when I'm in the ring. That's the least thing I think about. I think about the preparation I've trained for, and I try to execute. And guys can't stand up to the power. I've been blessed with that, and it's something that can't be taught.
