“I take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. ...” — Mr. T Quote

“I take a lot of pride in the work I do, because people pay to see me. They've got to get babysitters, park their car, get popcorn and candy. I've got to be conscious of that.”

“I use my celebrity status to inspire someone, to give them hope.”

“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.”

“As a Christian, you forgive, and you feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and you visit the sick and comfort the lonely. If I'm a true follower of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ, I got to do the things you're supposed to be doing.”

“I don't like magic - but I have been known to make guys disappear.”

“I go down the street, people see me: 'Hey, I pity-' right on, man, that's a compliment to me.”

“You can eat a lot more vegetables than you can cotton candy. Bring on the veggies. Stay away from the fluffy carbs.”

“When I was a kid at first I wanted to own a candy shop. I guess every kid wants to - we just want to have access - free access.”

“I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.”

“The truth is, one of the best things about being 15 years old is that things like candy are still exciting. Once you get older, once you've been knocked down enough by this cruel thing we call life, that just won't be the case anymore. Eventually, you'll become jaded.”

“Jerry Bruckheimer is the most hands-on producer that I've worked with. Jerry's very involved in the music, and he's such a fan of film. When you watch him playing back the cues to the picture, he's like a kid in a candy store.”
