More quotes by Mr. T
I got no time for the jibba-jabba.
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 believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.
Mr. T
I talk to people and show 'em how to solve their problems and stop sitting around and complaining. So I just give people little T-isms, so that when they hear my story they know where I'm coming from and that I'm real.
Mr. T
When I look back on my work, I'm proud of what I've done.
Mr. T
I am the best bodyguard, because I'll take a bullet, I'll take a stab wound, I'll take a hit upside the head I'm like a kamikaze pilot.
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
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
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 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.
Mr. T
When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.
Mr. T
You're going through college, and you're going to be faced with a lot of things. You're going to face adversity, the main thing is don't quit. For many people it's easy to quit, but don't. That's what separates the winners from the losers, what separates the all-stars from the also-rans.
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
I would like to talk about my Mama, for a bit.
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
Somedays you eat the bear, somedays the bear eats you
Mr. T
I'm a Christian - I really don't believe in UFOs.
Mr. T
Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt don't wear clothes with your name on it, so why should you wear their name?
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'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
