“I hold the door for the ladies – I’m a gent.”

I’m a Christian – I really don’t believe in UFOs.

I’ll never have a wedding. I don’t want to marry just to do what everybody else is doing.

God didn’t make me to make movies, flex muscles, buy gold. What you love the most becomes your God.

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.

Life guided me to being a bodyguard, protecting people, then in the movies, so I’m happy with everything because basically all I ever wanted to do was be a good son and take care of my mother.

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.
