“I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin [Tyson's wife]. When we got to the gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined.”
Mike Tyson
