It's a music video but she was real specific on the character that Mary J. Blige was playing, and that I was playing in this video and I told her whenever you get to jump to the big screen I'd love to come with you and she honored that.
The hope is they would like to bring it to Broadway next year, so we'll see that's to come in the end of the finance year and everybody else and also real estate and what theaters are available at the time but I would like to come back with it.
It's not a safe bet and it's not the cookie-cutter formula,
It's really a luck of the draw or fate or destiny, whatever you want to call it, but you don't know if you're going to resonate with people or not.
I'm disappointed because you put your time and energy into a certain character or a project and the product and you just never know.
I'm not upset about LAX being cancelled. I'm disappointed because any time you take on any endeavor you want it to be successful, but not upset.
Tonight, Daddy won't read you a story -- you can watch him in a story.
Two packed houses. I guess the theater sat 2,700 people every night so it was an amazing experience.
I heard we'll get you a pass because we know you're married to a black woman. You're married to a sister so we'll give you that pass but also, those who know me but also if they look at the body of work, it is the bigger picture.
So it's a source of fun and a source of pride to have been a part of this little movie that could.
I'd rather say no and have said no and do say no often. I walk away from projects if it doesn't feel right; if it's not the right team of people pulling in together or if the script isn't right. It could be a great idea but the script doesn't work.
You never know how things will last, if they will last, and how people will use them in the future. It was a fun movie for young people at the time in the 80s; but it struck a cord with people and it has lasted so I'm very proud of being a part of that.
To be still standing 20 years in this business is a great feeling, I can't even tell you.
Sex in the City was a different kind of phenomenon because of the show itself is a phenomenon and to me that's successful because to resonate with women across the board for six years and have only one African-American actor pass through for one episode.
