I pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.
MR. TI pray to God. I don’t pray to the president, the governor, the mayor, no black caucus, no this and that. I pray to God, and that’s the end of it.
MR. TAnd I say that to send a message to all the young thugs out there; that it’s nothing to be ashamed of to say you love your mother.
MR. TWhen I was old enough to change my name, I changed it to Mr. T so that the first word out of someone’s mouth was ‘Mister,’ a sign of respect.
MR. TWWE asked me to be in the Hall of Fame, and I turned it down. You know why? They put Pete Rose in the wrestling Hall of Fame. This guy can’t even get into his own Hall of Fame.
MR. TThey 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.
MR. TStay humble and be concerned for the less fortunate.
MR. TAs a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.

MR. TI didn’t watch ‘The A-Team’ movie. I’m an artist. You can’t re-paint a Rembrandt. You can’t duplicate that; I don’t care who you get.
MR. TDon’t be getting sloppy drunk and telling them dirty jokes.
MR. T
