I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

You never get rid of something that has a positive foundation.

I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn't want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don't answer.

At one point in my career, while still hosting 'The Arsenio Hall Show,' I was told by my doctor that it might not be physically possible for me to have children.

I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

I don't know what my life needs but I know I need some balance.

The bottom line is I've never had anybody bark at me in a mall with malicious intent. Everybody who barks at the kid from Cleveland is to let him know, "I know who you are." It's always a positive thing.
