'Awesome' Tyson captivates audience at interview

Mike Tyson says he feels awesome - and that's a little scary.

Proving that Americans always love a comeback story, Tyson captivated a studio audience as he taped a 90-minute interview for the Yes Network series ``CenterStage'' in New York on Tuesday. Alternately defiant, choked-up and introspective, Tyson's frank answers frequently drew applause and laughs - some of the nervous variety as he detailed his rise and fall as heavyweight champion.

Tyson is starring in a reality TV series on Animal Planet in which he races pigeons. He says he's become a vegan and has ``no drama'' in his life right now, which he concedes is an odd feeling for an athlete notorious for his brushes with the law.

The episode is slated to air May 26.
