More quotes by Mr. T
My mother told me, 'Son, nobody else but God knows.' And that's what I'm about - reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That's what I do.
Mr. T
Like I tell people they wind up having short term pleasure and long term pain. I'm a tell what Minister Louis Farrakhan said, Black people ain't poor, they just don't spend wisely and that's the truth.
Mr. T
People ask what gives me the authority to give advice? I say, First of all, I don't give advice. Dr Phil gives advice. Mr T helps people. I motivate them, I inspire them, I give them hope, and I plant the seed so they can feel good about themselves
Mr. T
I never try boost my career of the less fortunate somebody. Because if I gotta call and get press off of it - it ain't coming from my heart.
Mr. T
I wore the gold for some reasons. One, as a Christian.When Jesus was born wise men bring him gold.No wise man brought bling. Bling is not in The Bible.
Mr. T
I'm not outright seeking stuff. Because all I want to do is done. I bought my mother a nice house and pretty dress.
Mr. T
When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.
Mr. T
I'm not perfect, I'm not an angel, but I try to live a certain way because it brings honour and respect to my mother. I tell people that when they look at me, they're looking at nothing but a big, overgrown, tough mama's boy. That's who I am.
Mr. T
I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.
Mr. T
For my job, I act tough. I'm not tough. On the street, I don't go out beating people up and this and that. I used to joke one time on the television station that I never... Everybody that I beat up deserved it. I never beat up an innocent person.
Mr. T
I feel good with who I am and what I made of myself.
Mr. T
I made a little money. And like the Bible says, I was enjoying the fruits of my labor. This is my comeback. This is me doing what I love to do.
Mr. T
I remember one time I tried to pity this fool. He told me his name was Jeff. He was married. He pulled out his wallet and showed me three pictures of his kids Kelly, Robert, Brittany. Real cute kids. Don't get too close man. It's hard to pity a fool if you get too close.
Mr. T
I hope people have pulled something about me and said Hey Mr. T loves his mother, hey Mr. T ain't no dummy, hey Mr. T never grabbed his crotch, when you're talking about Hip-Hop culture.
Mr. T
I'm a bold Christian, not a scaredy-cat Christian.
Mr. T
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?
Mr. T
I have the Midas touch, in the way that when I hook up with a project, I feel, not speaking cocky or conceited, but there's a confidence I have. I learned that from Muhammad Ali I used to bodyguard him. He taught me about confidence. So when it comes to any job I work, I'm gonna do it good I'm going to bring it over the top.
Mr. T
When I look back on my work, I'm proud of what I've done.
Mr. T
Everything I've done was above board, as an actor I wanted to do two things. I wanted to entertain as well as get a message across. I never did no pimp roles, no negative roles, or anything like that. I had fun, everything I've done I'm proud to take my mother to.
Mr. T
I'm not gonna buy something without planning. If I buy $100,000 worth of gold, I gotta put $100,000 aside for my family in case something happens. You look kind of stupid wearing all that gold and you didn't have no plan.
Mr. T
