When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.

I used to bodyguard for Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks, Sugar Ray Leonard. I used to bodyguard a lot of diamond merchants; I would travel with a suitcase full of diamonds and take them from point A to point B. My reputation grew because I was a professional. I did my job, and I was courteous - a no-nonsense guy.

The blessed of us must save the less of us. I'm blessed, and yeah, I'm planning to go to Heaven.

If you look at my job, my union card, it says 'actor.' It don't say nothing about celebrity, movie star, nothing like that, and that's one thing that keeps me humble.

You can do nothing, or you can take on the challenge of taking on the adversity. You have got to have faith. You have to have faith in whatever you believe in.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

If it is true that we have a personal relationship with God, then that's enough for me.

The future of Conservatism lies in our beliefs and values, not by throwing them away. We need to shed associations that bind us to past failures, but hold faith with those things that make us Conservatives.
