Everything that I talk about, pretty much, are things that I learned or understood over the years.

I never thought of myself as a mogul, but it's really great to be in that position.

I am so proud to be from New Orleans and to be one of those people who had been displaced. I wasn't there during that time, but that's where I come from, that kind of poverty, and I'm very, very proud of that because it's given me my history.

Happiness for me is totally just being at peace knowing that, everything I'm doing, God is pleased with that. It's complete peace for me.

All my life I've tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it.

Life is so precious, such a gift, and that you have to live for you.

If you've ever watched anything that I do, and you completely give it a chance and take the blinders off, and you'll understand that the underlying theme of everything I've done has been about forgiveness, learning to move on.
