“In 1995, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I had to practice what I preached. I had always said to 'believe in God' and 'don't give up' to little kids who had been diagnosed with cancer. I th...”

“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,...”

“I'm a mama's boy because everything I do is with respect to my mother. I won't do a movie or a video that would bring disrespect to my mother.”

“I said I would never wear my gold again because it would be insensitive and disrespectful to all the people who died and lost everything in Katrina.”

“Hmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.”

“I'm a free spirit.”

“I try to use my experience and the fact that I grew up in the ghetto - I tell people you don't have to rob or steal to get out of the ghetto.”

“I believe in the Golden Rule - The Man with the Gold... Rules.”

“WWE asked me to be in the Hall of Fame, and I turned it down. You know why? They put Pete Rose in the wrestling Hall of Fame. This guy can't even get into his own Hall of Fame.”

“I love performing, you know, because, like I say, I'm a ham for this stuff.”
