I'm building shopping centers and movie theaters in the inner cities. So that means supplying jobs and letting blacks understand that we have to build our communities back, not looking to anybody else.
I got blessed from my mom. She's the personality; she's the one who smiled, so I took on part of her, and who also wanted to help and save the world. Then I took on part of my dad, who is tough.

I'm glad that Gov. Scott down in Florida accepted ObamaCare, because it will work.
I like to take walks in the park by myself, where no one can bother me and I can think.
My dad was my hero. And I got my personality from my mother.
I'm a businessman, and what I know is numbers and business.

I love putting people to work of color.
I get up 5:30-6 every morning. I'm in the gym. I run a couple miles.
