“I listen to my mother, and that keeps me out of trouble. I’m a good son.”

My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.

It takes a smart man to play dumb.

Really, you don’t lose until you stop trying.

All I ever wanted out of my life was to buy my mother a house. By 1995, I have achieved all I wanted materially in life.

My momma didn’t clean up floors so I could be a thug… so I could wear my pants down.

I said I would never wear my gold again because it would be insensitive and disrespectful to all the people who died and lost everything in Katrina.

If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don’t just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.

You’ll never have any trouble with Mr. T, I’m just a big, calm teddy bear kind of guy. Mr. T ain’t ashamed to cry.

I try to work out my mind more these days. I try to eat right. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I take the skin off chicken. But I’m not on no special diet. I like my steak and potatoes, ice cream, doughnuts.

Whatever role I play is a positive role; it’s a strong role. Never negative.

To be a bodyguard is to be a kamikaze pilot. Dedicated.

I was being trained because I wanted to be a preacher like my father. I wanted to talk about Moses; I wanted to talk about God.

I’ve turned those steel chains into gold to symbolize the fact that I’m still a slave, only my price tag is higher.

I always was a Christian… whatsoever a man thinks in his heart is who he is.

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.

Things will come to you when the time is right and I say just go for it. If you love what you want to do, just keep on going.

Competitive sports keep alive in us a spirit and vitality. Sports teach the strong to know when they are weak and the brave to face themselves when they are afraid; to be proud and unbowed in defeat, and yet humble and gentle in victory.

I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.

Be passionate and bold.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, an’ it keeps on laughin’.

We say no to great ideas in order to keep the amount of things we focus on very small in number so that we can put enormous energy behind the ones we do choose…..It’s not just saying yes to the right products, it’s saying no to many products that are good ideas, but just not nearly as good as the other ones.

We both have war inside us. Sometimes it keeps us alive. Sometimes it threatens to destroy us.

You take what you’ve learned, you pass it down, and you keep working.
