We will have a more just society as soon as we want one.
My father used to think the word 'legend' was tossed around far too often. I want to say today that in the opinion of his family, my father was a legend.
I prefer to be sitting on the beach, but I can't. I want to be a billionaire.
Marry me. You can have all the money and credit cards you want, and the glory of being Mrs Packer, but you've got to let me do what I want.
I pay the tax I am required to pay, not a penny more, not a penny less. If anybody in this country doesn't minimize their tax, they want their heads read because, as a Government, I can tell you they're not spending it that well that we should be donating extra.
I don't want to be left behind. In fact, I want to be here before the action starts.
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
I definitely want make an impact in television. I want to make a continued and greater impact in feature films, and I want to be somebody who continues to be at the forefront of creating a wide variety of content that I could be proud of and that engages people on all levels.
I'm excited about my own network, BounceTV. It's the first African-American-owned broadcast network. It's myself, my partner Rob Hardy, and some other African-American businessmen, including Andrew Young and Martin Luther King III.

When I was a kid, my parents never let me use race as an excuse. They'd say, 'When you walk into a room and it's all white, those kids have to work to stand out, not you.'
I had no intention of being a film producer, and I knew I wasn't passionate about engineering. I was always set on having my own business, controlling my own destiny.
