I'm a child of God first. Before I became a celebrity, I was baptized a Christian.
My mother is a strong, wonderful woman. I could never be anything she didn't want me to be.
I'm a mama's boy because everything I do is with respect to my mother. I won't do a movie or a video that would bring disrespect to my mother.
I'm not a star. I don't feel I'm so great. So how can I make you feel great just because you've got my signature on a piece of paper?
When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.
I'm a Christian - I really don't believe in UFOs.
I would like to talk about my Mama, for a bit.
Obama's not Jesus. He can't walk on water.
When 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.
Any man who doesn't love his mama can't be no friend of mine.
When I'm in the house of God, I don't wear my jewelry, if you're looking for my jewelry. All you see is my heart of gold.
I didn't come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it's sickening.
My celebrity status allows me an opportunity, allows me a pulpit to preach and reach out to the people. Not even always preaching but just leading, motivating them by being a leader.
To be a bodyguard is to be a kamikaze pilot. Dedicated.
