I don't know about marriage as much as I do know that I'd be a great father.
I feel like I died as a child.
What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
You close the door on me and tell me I can't, I'm gonna find a way to get in.
I remember being a kid and praying in the hell of my house to have somebody love me and somebody that I could love.
The thing about using other people's money is they're going to set the rules.
There are a lot of people who have dreams, goals, and hopes, but there aren't a lot who get to see them realized.
The Bible says that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. I believe that. Because I've seen it all work.
I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.
I'm not an artist. I set the camera up and tell my story.
I'm really happy for the loyalty and continued support of my fans.
It's schizophrenic -- that's how I describe it. It's all over the place, man. It's joy, it's happy, it's sad, it's everything. It's just an emotional roller coaster, you know? Even the plays themselves, you come to see them and it's like a stand-up comedic routine. I'm breaking the wall. I'm talking to the audience. It's theater. It's some of everything. It's concert.
You should've heard the roar of these thousands of black people in the room. They were fired up and angry and ready to go to the movies.
I'm a child who was abused. I know the difference. I clearly know the difference. The whipping for correction and then their child abuse.
