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

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 don't possess a lot of self-confidence. I'm an actor so I simply act confident every time I hit the stage.

I went to school, majored in theatre, and said 'Mom, I have to choose my own destiny. I want to be an actor.' A couple of weeks after I graduated college I called my mother up and said 'Can I borrow $200?' and she said 'Why don't you act like you've got $200.'

My name is Arsenio. That's a very unique name for a black man. In Greek, it means Leroy.

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.

The way I approach stardom and the show, I'm like a politician. I'm an elected late-night official to do your work.
