I feel more comfortable with gorillas than people. I can anticipate what a gorilla's going to do, and they're purely motivated. ↗

The situation right after the fight wasn't too good; I believe I'm still the only champion in the world who never received the belt inside the ring once you've won the title. I held that against the English fans for a long time but I felt that also motivated me. ↗

I was on my own at Wellesley, surrounded by a lot of young women who were motivated and intellectually curious.
