“'Rocky' and 'Rocky III' were the best.”
“A lot of the stuff I do in terms of PR, I learned it from Muhammad Ali.”
“Left ear, I wear four earrings. The four is symbolic of the four seasons, spring, winter, summer and fall, the four directions, north, east, south and west, the four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.”
“I am a tough guy.”
“Hmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.”
“I've never seen myself as a star. I never call myself a celebrity or a superstar, whatever.”
“I was baptized by my father when I was 4 years old.”
“I'm not the same man I used to be, I'm not out hell-raising, stuff like that. I am a changed man.”
“When you give, it comes back to you.”
“Why am I here? I'm not lucky. That's God.”
“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.”
“I used to bodyguard for some celebrities and other people, and when I wasn't doing that, I used to work at a disco as a doorman or a bouncer.”
“I listen to my mother, and that keeps me out of trouble. I'm a good son.”
“I knew I wasn't going to be a rocket scientist - let's not be fools - but I wasn't going to be a bum.”
“I pull no punches!”
“I sent out a tweet, 'Dancing with the Stars' should stop the jibber jabber. They shouldn't make the departure of a dancer so tear jerky because nobody's going to war.”
“When I'm ready to fight, my opponent has a better chance of surviving a forest fire wearing gasoline drawers.”
“My mother never cursed at home; my father never cursed at home. My father didn't drink. Even though we were poor, we would say a blessing over the table. So that's who I am.”
“We all gonna die eventually from something or other, but don't be a wimp. Put up a good fight.”
“My faith was tested like Job. That's the message I try to tell other people: just because you believe in God, serve God, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, people gotta realize, it don't mean things not gonna happen to you.”
