Mr. T - "What!?"
*Editor’s note: please excuse the misspelling (like ds are ts). That is just how Mr. T says his words.

Why do you where all those gold chains?
Well Mike, these gold chainses symbolize the fact that my ancestors was brought here, as slaves.

Does your (mohawk) hairstyle symbolize anything?
Yes it does.  My folkse was from the Mandica tribe, and they wore they hair like this.
Leno - "What!?" Any meaning behind your old ratty boots?
They were my father’s boots, and they remind me of home.

What do you want to do when you feel absoludicrous?
Whenever I feel embarrassed, or exposed, I want to go to a desertet islant and hite my head in the sant.
Who are your favorite rappers?
My favorite rappers is Ice T because he wrote a song about respecting his momma and so did I.  Would you like to hear a verse?  "Motha there is no otha like motha, so treat her right.  M is fo the moan and the terrible groan from the pain that you felt when I was boan…"

Who do you look to for inspiration?
I look to my motha because she always taught me to not be part of no bad boys.  That’s why I didn’t join any street gangs like the Crazy Cats or the Mighty Midgets.

Are you somebody, or somebody's fool?
Do you know me?  Of course you do.  That’s because I’m famous.  But even before I was famous, I got respects.  That’s because you don’t have to be famous to get respects.  You just gotta be somebody.
