“I have the Midas touch, in the way that when I hook up with a project, I feel, not speaking cocky or conceited, but there’s a confidence I have.”

I’m not the same man I used to be, I’m not out hell-raising, stuff like that. I am a changed man.

Football players, the brain and all that stuff, ooh-eee, that’s not good.

I’m tender on the inside.

When my ancestors came from Africa, they were shackled by our neck, our wrists, and our ankles in steel chains.

I’m not really an actor, I’m a reactor; I’m a pitchman. That’s what I do best. Nobody can do it any better.

NBC had a show called ‘The Toughest Bouncer in America’ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‘bouncer.’.

I would travel with a suitcase full of diamonds and take them from point A to point B.

I’m so tough and so bad, I can be humble and lift another guy up.

I don’t worry. I don’t doubt. I’m daring. I’m a rebel.

I use my celebrity status to inspire someone, to give them hope.

I go to cancer wards, and I tell them guys, ‘I’ve beaten it. You can, too.’

If I’m a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you’re supposed to be doing.

I know about two things: ‘Rocky III’ and Clubber Lang, and ‘A-Team’ and B.A. Baracus. That’s who I am!

I always say I’m one of the toughest mama’s boys you’re ever gonna meet.

I was a straight-A student. But I was a bad lad.

If I never make another dollar, my life is complete.
