“I thank God I’m in a position where I can pick and choose – there are some roles I don’t play.”

I’m proud to be an actor. See, as an actor, you live longer.

You might not have the things you want, but if you check carefully, you got all you need.

Rocky’ and ‘Rocky III’ were the best.

I’m a child of God first. Before I became a celebrity, I was baptized a Christian.

See, behind all my tough, rough exterior is basically a marshmallow, maybe a pussycat. But not a wimp!

They used to call me ‘Touchdown T.’ I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, ‘I’m going to run for three touchdowns.’ I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

I’m tough when I have to be, tender when I should be. When you find a really tough guy, he’s not a predator. He doesn’t have to prove himself.

We had the wood shop, the machine shop, so I know about all that. I wanted to build buildings when I graduated from high school. I do know my way around that stuff.

All I ever wanted to do with my life was own a little house. I did that way back with ‘Rocky,’ so now everything I do is just icing on the cake.

Don’t be getting sloppy drunk and telling them dirty jokes.

I have a heart of gold, but I’m really a marshmallow in my heart.

My celebrity status allows me an opportunity, allows me a pulpit to preach and reach out to the people.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

When I go out and I meet people who are suffering and they come and talk to me, Mr. T cries, Mr. T who could break a man’s jaw with his fist.

Mr. T. been to chemo, Mr. T been to radiation, hair fall out… but he’s back. Now I can give hope when I go to the hospital, see the sick kids with cancer, tell them, don’t quit.

I’m a free spirit.

Zack Snyder is a huge fan of ‘Game of Thrones,’ and I met him in the training stunt facility that I train at, and I guess he really liked me because he later called me into his office, and we talked about playing Aquaman.

I believe the way to write a good play is to convince yourself it is easy to do, then go ahead and do it with ease.

I don’t really admire musicianship per se – as is obvious from my own playing.

I’m always trying to show versatility. I’m juggling, and I’m flipping fire, and I’m chewing gum and rhyming at the same time… on a unicycle, while playing the drums.

As a rookie, I need to play a lot. I need to know what courses I like and adjust to the atmosphere and the lifestyle of playing at the highest level.

I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn’t speak English and I couldn’t speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations – that’s why we got married really quickly.

We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.

I’ve taken two weeks off before I’ve played a major, and I’ve played two straight weeks before a major as well.
