“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.”

To the women and children, T stands for tender. To the bad guys and thugs, it stands for tough.

I wanted to talk about the apostles, the disciples and all that.

I believed in God when cancer come to me. Now when I speak, I speak with authority because I’ve been there.

I don’t call up the press and say, ‘Look at me!’

Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.

Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

I used to bodyguard for Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks, Sugar Ray Leonard. I used to bodyguard a lot of diamond merchants.

My mother is a strong, wonderful woman. I could never be anything she didn’t want me to be.

To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.

Why am I here? I’m not lucky. That’s God.

When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn’t afford to pay attention.

Stay humble and be concerned for the less fortunate.

I pity the fool who just gives up.

When I’m ready to fight, my opponent has a better chance of surviving a forest fire wearing gasoline drawers.

This guy Clubber Lang, I’ve been him all my life. He’s mean and hungry just like me.
