As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.
I was mischievous. I wasn't bad. I stole food so we could eat. My mother didn't know. I used to tell her some man gave me $10 to sweep out the yard. I was like Robin Hood. I took from the rich and gave to the poor. Me.
I want to represent... to the kids to draw strength from me. So they can see that everybody goes through something, but you can rise up and do your best. Just try.
Hmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.
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.
The reason why I wear gold - I wear gold for three reasons. One, when Jesus was born, three wise men came from the east: one brought frankincense, one brought myrrh, the other one brought gold. The second reason I wear gold is I can afford it. The third reason I wear it, it's symbolic of my African heritage.
T stands for being nice. T stands for manners. T stands for being polite.
I don't mean to be cocky, but if I'm never on TV again, if I never make another dollar, I am proud. I did what I wanted to do.
My mother is a strong, wonderful woman. I could never be anything she didn't want me to be.
When I was nine years old, living on the south side of Chicago, my father was a minister and my mother used to scrub floors. I had seven brothers and four sisters. I told my mama, 'One of these days I'm going to be big and strong and buy you a beautiful house.' That's all I've ever wanted to do with my life, is to take care of my mother.
One time, this guy was bothering my mother, and me and my brothers had a stern talking with the guy and a little bit of physicality with him. So he disappeared. But I'm not a magician.
I know about two things: 'Rocky III' and Clubber Lang, and 'A-Team' and B.A. Baracus. That's who I am!
If you gonna wear the mohawk, you stick with it. You don't just be dibby-dabbing. You make up your mind.
I do watch some TV. I like the History Channel and National Geographic, and old shows on TV Land like 'Sanford and Son,' 'The Jeffersons,' and 'Benson.'
The most violent show on TV is the six o'clock news.
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?
My mother raised me with God. We were poor financially, but we were rich spiritually.
If you can't read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady!
I want people to draw strength from me.
My gold, my money couldn't stop cancer from appearing on my body. If they can't save me, then I don't need them.
