Amongst black people, you have always heard it said that once a black man reaches a certain level, especially if you are an entertainer, you get a white trophy woman. I didn't make that up.

One of the great things about African-Americans is that we've always had this attitude: We make do with what we got. It comes from our ancestors being slaves.

For me, I believe in God, God is real.

As a people we do not need anyone else's stamp of approval.

I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.

Most human beings will not stand in front of a stage and tell you about the bad things they did.

Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
