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.
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.
What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
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.
My first show was called 'I Know I've Been Changed' in '92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, 'What is this about?'
You don't try to do anything that Morgan Freeman does. He was the voice of God in a movie. That's Morgan Freeman!
My life has always been - there's never been a middle. Either I had or I didn't. Either I was up or I was down.
I want a lot of people to see my movies. More black people. More white people. I want to make that connection.
As I experience life and go through things, that's what I write about.
