When I'm playing Big Momma, it's so much work that all I want to do, when I'm finished, is go back home and just relax and study my lines and get ready for the next day.

We grew to know the meaning of love. That is what allowed me and my family to stay close together.

If I give you two children films then come back and give you an adult film. I just love mixing it up and not being pegged into one specific thing.

For me, this was all or nothing. I left no room for anything else. That goal was just for my own push, my own self-esteem. The fear of not being a success in my life made me push even harder.

As long as there's Big Momma, we're going to bring you comedy.

You make due with the time you have here. Hopefully when you pass on, somebody can look back and say, 'Wow, they made a difference in some kind of way.'

I wanted to trust in my partners and the directors and producers and do the best I can to deliver what I could deliver.
