What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
What rings true is that everything we grow through in life will work out for our good.
When I have absolutely nothing to do, and I find myself in the middle of all of it going, "Wow!" When nothing's going on, that's when I get to stop and really appreciate the journey.
For as low as you go, ask God to take you that high.
You let your past destroy you, or you use it to create something better
I thank God for Closed Doors
I had one request when I started doing the plays. My prayer was: God let me do well enough to be able to take care of my mother. I was able to do that 'til the day she died because of my audience. So, they've already done enough. All I ask for now is their continued support.
When it all comes down to it, life isn't about how much we get - it's about how much we share.
Focus on one thing, make it your priority, and stick with it no matter what!
If you're black, you can't just be ordinary. All successful black people are extraordinary.
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.
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 don't cook, so my favorite dish to prepare is something on the takeout menu.
There will be rough nights but joy really does come in the morning.
