Sundance | Toback and Tyson

Director James Toback introduces Mike Tyson at a dinner for the documentary, "Tyson," at the Sundance Film Festival

Clearly moved by the growing interest in the docu since its Cannes preem, Tyson addressed the diners:
"I'm really very humbled.  I had no idea it'd get to this magnitude.  I was looking forward to selling bootleg DVDs... I told James it might be a foreign movie because of the language I'd be using."

"I'm afraid of how much pussy and money I'm going to get.  It's going to lead to a lot of problems.  It's not funny.  It's really detrimental to me because I'm really sick and really weak."

You gotta feel sad for this guy. He seems to have no control over himself - and he can't stand that he doesn't.
