I feel good with who I am and what I made of myself.

Back in the day, I would wear up to 45 pounds of gold. It would take me four hours to get dressed!

I would like to talk about my Mama, for a bit.

When I was growing up, my family was so poor we couldn't afford to pay attention.

When I was nine years old, living on the south side of Chicago, my father was a minister and my mother used to scrub floors. I had seven brothers and four sisters. I told my mama, 'One of these days I'm going to be big and strong and buy you a beautiful house.' That's all I've ever wanted to do with my life, is to take care of my mother.

People ask what gives me the authority to give advice? I say, First of all, I don't give advice. Dr Phil gives advice. Mr T helps people. I motivate them, I inspire them, I give them hope, and I plant the seed so they can feel good about themselves

When I look back on my work, I'm proud of what I've done.
