There are a lot of people who have dreams, goals, and hopes, but there aren't a lot who get to see them realized.
Keep your dreams ALIVE. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how many people talk about you; they're going to throw dirt on you but that's alright, when they put you in that box (after your dead), they're going to put dirt on you some more, so that's okay - GO, don't be afraid, have NO FEAR.
I don't think the dreams die - I think that people give up. I think it gets too hard.
It's a dream realized to partner with Oprah and bring scripted programming to OWN. She has accomplished so much with the network, and I'm excited to work with her to be a part of its continued growth.
You can never be upset with the people who forced you into your dream or up higher.
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.
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.
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.
What is important to me about this movie is that the stories and messages are for anyone. Anyone who needs to learn about forgiveness will enjoy it no matter who they are.
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.
