My father instilled in me to take care of my family. Show up even when you don't want to show up.

Anyone can sleep with a guy in 24-48 hours, but you're sending the wrong signal to the guy if you do that.

I'd have to say I'm most proud of my mentoring camp that I do in Dallas every year for one hundred boys from single-parent homes. I was raised by a mother who was a Sunday school teacher and a father who worked hard. Together they taught me to give back.

If you'd asked me then if I saw how big "The Steve Harvey Morning Show" was going to be, I couldn't tell you. But I knew I could reach people not as a character but as Steve Harvey, because although I tell jokes for a living, I've also lived, and I think I can relate to you more than you know.

You've got to quit lowering your standards. Set your requirements up front so when a guy hooks you, he has to know this is business.

I don't let nobody sign for my money. Me and my wife write our own checks. So, if there's some money missing, we know how it got missing.
