Booker T

“Sometimes, watching someone and... Like, for myself, I got a chance to meet Muhammad Ali. He invited me to his hotel, and I got a chance to take photos with him. It was the most awesome moment of my life.”

“To be able to make a difference in one life is really what I'm all about. To make a change.”

“Throughout my whole time in wrestling on the road, going out and being around some of the whitest people in the world, I've never had any problems with anybody. It was never black or white. Booker T was just a wrestler. I did that by design.”

“The thing is you never know what you can do until you try it. Even if you try, you still may fail, but that's when you have to go and prepare because if you're not prepared, you're preparing to fail.”

“I've never really considered myself a wrestler. I always considered myself an entertainer, but I always wanted to be better than the guy next to me.”

“I went to WWE to prove something. I had to go through Steve Austin, the Undertaker, Edge; I had to go through all of those guys to prove myself.”

“Sharmell was the first woman that I thought about talking to, and if you listen to Sharmell, she thought I hated her the first time we met because I was always all business.”

“I do not see Dean Ambrose leaving WWE to go somewhere else.”

“I consider myself an official scout for not just WWE, but the Reality of Wrestling.”

“It was a great ride, 10-time world tag team champion with my brother and then to work with Sheri Martell back in the days, you know, a dream come true.”

“For me, fighting is in the blood, and it's something I grew up doing.”

“I'm a nice guy - until you get on my bad side.”

“I've got twin babies - a boy and a girl - and it's great.”

“There's been so many rivals, most of them Canadian guys like Rick Martel, Christian and Chris Benoit. Those guys were all ultimate professionals, every one of them.”

“I look at a guy like Chris Jericho. This guy, man, he's one of the hardest workers.”

“I know I'm not going to be working with the WWE forever. That's why I'm going to be the Mayor of the city of Houston, so I can move on to the next stage of my life.”

“Aw, man, it's huge to actually have a platform and let the world see Reality of Wrestling as well as to be able to compete with all the other independent companies around the world.”

“The NWO was one of a kind. It was led by three mega-superstars. They knew how to work the business, especially Kevin Nash. He was literally the brains behind that machine.”

“My thing has always been preparation. When I was a performer on the roster as one of the guys on a weekly, full-time schedule, I was always prepared.”

“I never had any major surgeries or anything like that. I've had a few career-threatening injuries, but I bounced back from them.”
