I like to move towards a place where my greatest experience is promoting happiness for others. I know that that creates a cycle of the same great experience.

My experiences have been, from the very beginning, cultural and creative. And my business has been a way of exposing the culture, exposing the artists so that the world could hear and see them.

No one wants to sell to just 12% of the population for the entire length of their careers. It creates a difficult and less-profitable environment. But Hollywood has lived with that limiting mantra, and only a few black stars have managed to break through.

If you play basketball, you get into the zone. You can't miss. That's the expansive mindset we're all seeking. But that only comes when the mind is quiet and separate from the noise. And the greatest tool to eliminate the noise is meditation.

I'm always surrounded by smart talented people. I had talented partners. Stan Latham for one. Talent scouts.

I feel the choices our president Barack Obama is making now are safer and better.

Anyone whose mission is keeping people apart is swimming against a very strong tide.
