“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 take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They’ve got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I’ve got to be conscious of that.

I’m a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.

Left ear, I wear four earrings. The four is symbolic of the four seasons, spring, winter, summer and fall, the four directions, north, east, south and west, the four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

When you give, it comes back to you.

My faith was tested like Job. That’s the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don’t mean things not gonna happen to you.

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.

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 used to bodyguard for some celebrities and other people, and when I wasn’t doing that, I used to work at a disco as a doorman or a bouncer.

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