R-TRUTH

I've always felt that God, himself, has chosen me for his purpose, for higher callings whether it's to be an inspiration to somebody else's life, whether it's to change somebody else's life, or whether it's to be that support or light in somebody else's life.

All the things I talk about are true, but some of them I may tweak a little bit. A lot of it is the way I feel about wrestling. When you have a character like mine, you can push the envelope and go far with some of the issues.

I remember, I was at the house with my oldest son and I got that call from Johnny Ace. You know that call. Johnny was the guy that hired me, fired me and hired me back, which was kind of cool. But I was just fired, everything stopped, my whole world stopped.

I'm a parent, I gotta be a super dad.

There's certain countries that you can't get in if you've got a criminal background record. There's certain jobs in the States that you can't get because you've got a criminal background record. That follows you the rest of your life... and that's something you have to deal with the rest of your life.

Memphis is like the heart of wrestling.

I've been wrestling and making music for a long time.

Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Shawn Michales… the list goes on and on of great guys who made WrestleMania what it is.

I want to become a main player, a main-eventer, a headliner - whatever. I have all that's needed to do that.

When I'm in the ring I've got a million people watching me weekly, looking for me to present something memorable to them.

I heard there are some real rowdy fans in New Zealand.

When you see who I am, you're getting a real character, a real person. R-Truth, that's me.

My influences, going back through the history of rap, talk about Doug E. Fresh, Kool Moe D, Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy.

When the opportunity is there, you have to let your creative juices start flowing and reach and grab for it.

I'm a fan of Kobe and LeBron. People always try to make me pick one or the other, but I think they're both great. They both deliver.

You can see into people's souls through their eyes.

WWF is my second job in my whole life.

Sometimes a blessing will come out of mistakes.

All my mistakes, all my accomplishments, the good things I've done, the bad I've done, and the mistakes I've learned from, the mistakes I've never done before - all of that made me into what I am now.

Do not try doing the things that we do one TV in WWE. We're the entertainers, we're the professionals.

Sometime I rap for the house. Sometime I rap live.

That was one of the most hurtful things, to have my mother see me in court and to have my mother see me behind bars.

I'm trying to take wrestling to a whole different level.

All my music has always been about positive, having ambition, having goals, having dreams, and believing in yourself.

I don't like to talk about typical things in my music - my music is more about real life situations.
