Things happen. You just have to accept it and move on. I get that from my dad. He's a real chilled character.

It's the one you don't expect that knocks you out.

A lot of people don't really understand boxing.

When I'm not training, I'm reading.

I love to read and learn.

It feels good that people believe in my ability, but you've just got to stay focused, keep your feet on the ground, and do the job and do the hard work in the gym.

If you have goals or aims in life, write them down. If you look at your goals every day, then it will encourage you to try your best in all you do, be focused, and stay determined.

Boxing has taught me to be disciplined, to be respectful to those around me. I am able to travel the world, meet a lot of people, and make new friends.

I remember famous people coming in to speak to me when I was in school and being inspired by them.

I first got into boxing when I was quite young. I was about 12 when I won my first boxing match.

It would be an honour to knock out Botha.

That takes it out of you, throwing too many punches.

What I need to do is relax, take my time, and make my shots count. That will give me more energy later in the fights but also allow me to throw the punches harder.

I have to take my time, use my punches, and use the ring.

Every man who gets in that ring has the ability to hurt you.

Some people say the people I'm fighting are bums, but I don't see it like that.

I know if I train hard, focus, I can beat anyone out there.

I can outbox Anthony Joshua.

I want to fight the best Anthony Joshua there is.

I love meeting people.

Charles Martin, we watched him. He won the IBF championship of the world, but we don't think he is anything special.

It's a quality you need to be a world champion; you have to have that killer instinct.

It always excites me to meet new family members. I'd like to meet them all someday.

I know I'm always ready when I jump into the ring.

I feel like the guitar playing gives me rhythm with my punches - really helps to change up my jab.

Bitcoin is successful only because of its potential for circumvention, lack of oversight.

High levels of economic inequality lead to imbalances in political power, as those at the top use their economic weight to shape our politics in ways that give them more economic power.

Under Ronald Reagan in the United States and Margaret Thatcher in the U.K., there was a rewriting of the basic rules of capitalism. These two governments changed the rules governing labour bargaining, weakening trade unions, and they weakened anti-trust enforcement, allowing more monopolies to be created.

I grew up in a family in which political issues were often discussed, and debated intensely.

Globalization and trade liberalization were supposed to make us all better off through the mechanism of trickle-down economics. What we seemed to be seeing instead was trickle-up economics, accompanied by a destruction of democratic politics, as we moved ever closer to a system of 'one dollar, one vote' as opposed to 'one person, one vote.'

Behind Trump's promise to 'make America great again' lie many fallacies. The most important fallacy is that America's place in the world can be restored to the one it occupied after World War II, when Europe was still recovering from vast devastation and most developing countries were still European colonies. It can't be.

The diversity of Europe is its strength. But for a single currency to work, over a region with enormous economic and political diversity, is not easy.

The U.S. basically wrote the rules and created the institutions of globalisation.

After the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the shutdown of much of New York City by Sandy in 2012, and now the devastation wrought on Texas by Harvey, the U.S. can and should do better.

A lot of my book, 'The Price of Inequality,' is about why there has been an increase in rent-seeking.

Economists often like startling theorems, results which seem to run counter to conventional wisdom.

When you're in government, you have a big impact in Washington, but Washington may not be doing very much.

China's government has far more control over the country's economy than our government has over ours, and it is moving from export dependence to a model of growth driven by domestic demand. Any restriction on exports to the U.S. would simply accelerate a process already underway.

Hedge funds are not noted for their long-term thinking - for them, a quarter is an eternity.

America and the world are paying a high price for devotion to the extreme anti-government ideology embraced by Donald Trump and his Republican party.

My teachers helped guide and motivate me; but the responsibility of learning was left with me, an approach to learning which was later reinforced by my experiences at Amherst.

Trump has been criticized by mainstream Republicans for not really being one of them. But he is definitely one of them when it comes to the central palliative for any ill befalling the country: a tax cut for the rich.

In addition to offering benefits to those who invest, carry out research, and create jobs, higher taxes on land and real-estate speculation would redirect capital toward productivity-enhancing spending - the key to long-term improvement in living standards.

When you have a highly divided society, it's hard to come together to make investments in the common good.

Tax policy should reflect a country's values and address its problems.

A politically astute president who understood deeply the economics and politics of corporate tax reform could conceivably muscle Congress toward a reform package that made sense. Trump is not that leader.

Letting bygones be bygones is a basic principle in economics.

Let me put it very forcefully: No large economy has ever recovered from an economic downturn through austerity. It's not going to happen in the United States, and it's not going to happen in Europe.

With neoliberalism discredited and austerity failed, we need to rewrite the rules of the economy once again. But this time in the right way. We need rules that focus on long-term economic growth, and the only kind of sustainable prosperity is shared prosperity.

When you don't have equality of opportunity because you don't have equal access to education, it just seems so outrageous. It weakens our economy and leads to more inequality.
