Forgiveness is important in families, especially when there are so many secrets that need to be healed - for the most part, every family's got them.
What I've found about it is that there are some folks you can talk to until you're blue in the face--they're never going to get it and they're never going to change. But every once in a while, you'll run into someone who is eager to listen, eager to learn, and willing to try new things. Those are the people we need to reach. We have a responsibility as parents, older people, teachers, people in the neighborhood to recognize that.
The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.
I think, you know, the people that have seen my work, I think it speaks to the possibility of getting better, and, I'm sorry, I'm still on the last caller.
When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward.
I live my life outside of the box because when I die they're going to put me into one!
It's so important to forgive people for their wrongs in your own life because every bit of it was for a reason-it was to form the person that you are.
I know that my audience is largely women, so what I try to do a lot of times is address their issues.
Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.
A mother's love is stronger than distance, more powerful than time and can transcend the grave.
My friend Madea has "attitude" that comes with wisdom. Back in our teens and twenties, we thought we knew everything and made all those foolish mistakes. Then, when we got a little older, at thirty, we started getting these flashes of light, revelations of what a great and lucky thing it is that we didn't get caught doing those stupid things back then. Around forty, if we are lucky, we stop lying to ourselves. Fifty and above, we've run out of patience for foolishness. Take me to the bottom line.
I have this huge, huge fan base of people who've never seen a Broadway show, but I think it's a great introduction to what Broadway is because my shows are not that. I think that if you're getting people to go to theater then somebody should be celebrating that.
If you don't want my God here, you don't want me here either. God has been too good to me to go and try to sell out to get some money.
There were only 3 people that I wanted to meet in life, Nelson Mandela was one of them. What a life, what a journey, what a man. Thank you for passing this way! God bless your resting soul!
