“I'm projected as an ambulance chaser, but I'm more the ambulance. People call me because they know I will come.… I have never fought a case where they didn't ask me to come. People have this picture like I'm sitting up in bed at night with a walkie-talkie. "You hear anything? Oh, let's run! It's Virginia today!"… Every victim calls us.… "Who put Sharpton in charge?"”

The victim!

“I didn't just start doing this today. Not like some people that have a movie coming out, so they go visit kids in the hospital. You don't need that phony crap. All of these celebrities, they turn my stomach with their funny stuff. I've been going in the ghettos without the press, without bodyguards, talking to kids. "Get to reading, stay in school. You don't have to carry a gun." I know about peer pressure and all that, but I say, "Hey, they called me a sissy because I wouldn't join a gang. Who was calling me a sissy? Does it make me a sissy because somebody called me a sissy?" […] I'm going to fight if you touch me or hurt me or do harm to my family. But if you call me a bad name, or whatnot, I'm too smart for that. That's the message the kids need to hear coming from me. I tell them, "If I fought every time somebody called me a name, I would never get out of jail. But I'm disciplined. I'm smarter than that." So I tell them, like my mother said, "Consider the source."”

Mr. T (1952) American actor and retired professional wrestler

When you see who called you the name, then you understand why they're doing it. Then you don't have to stoop that low.

“Folks say that you've
Found someone new
To do the things I used to do for you.
Just call my name,
I'm not ashamed,
I'll come running back to you.Can't sleep at night,
I can't eat a bite.
When you were mine I didn't treat you right.
Just call my name,
I know, I know I'm not ashamed.
I'll come running back to you.”

Sam Cooke (1931–1964) American singer-songwriter and entrepreneur
