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.

More quotes by Mr. T
Somedays you eat the bear, somedays the bear eats you
Mr. T
I got no time for the jibba-jabba.
Mr. T
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.
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 wanted to win to feed the hungry people of my community. I didn't want to win to buy a diamond.. I didn't have no diamonds then. I didn't want to win to buy a car, I didn't want to win to bring a couple of chicks downtown to a hotel. I wanted to win to feed the poor people of the community.
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 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 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 believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.
Mr. T
When I look back on my work, I'm proud of what I've done.
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
Any man who doesn't love his mama can't be no friend of mine.
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
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 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
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!
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
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.
Mr. T
I would like to talk about my Mama, for a bit.
Mr. T
