[Tyler Perry] has the luxury of not doing the political stuff, which is really where I want to be as a company.

When you live in an alcoholic family or an abusive family, you tiptoe, you don't want to step on any mines.

You must see yourself as guardian, somebody who will preserve what is true and pass it on. Be a guardian. We don't need militants or revolutionaries. We need guardians. We need leaders.

We are redeemed one man at a time. There is no family pass ticket or park hopping pass to life. One ticket - one at a time. Man doesn't vanquish hatred or bigotry. The target keeps moving. From the blacks to the Irish; atheists to Christians. But as always there are a few leaders: Ben Franklin, John Quincy Adams, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Fredrick Douglas, Booker T Washington, Ghandi and Martin Luther King. They know that the march toward freedom never ends, man must be ever vigilant and pray less with his lips and more with his legs.

You have three people in the White House that are in love with eugenics or whatever it is you would call it today.

So here you have Barack Obama going in and spending the money on embryonic stem cell research. Eugenics.

Without failure there is no sweetness in success. There's no understanding of it.
