After Obama became president, I realized that black people could not have put him in the White House - it had to be a collective effort of everybody in the country.
I never thought of myself as a mogul, but it's really great to be in that position.
There's nothing like real forgiveness, a deep-down forgiveness where you don't hold any grudges against people. I forgave for the things they didn't know and for the things they didn't know to do.
I'm not afraid to have a character say, 'I am a Christian,' or, 'I believe in God,' because I think they represent real people on this Earth.
I'm really happy for the loyalty and continued support of my fans.
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.
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 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.
