I had one request when I started doing the plays. My prayer was: God let me do well enough to be able to take care of my mother. I was able to do that 'til the day she died because of my audience. So, they've already done enough. All I ask for now is their continued support.

You can never be upset with the people who forced you into your dream or up higher.

There were only 3 people that I wanted to meet in life, Nelson Mandela was one of them. What a life, what a journey, what a man. Thank you for passing this way! God bless your resting soul!

It's so important to forgive people for their wrongs in your own life because every bit of it was for a reason-it was to form the person that you are.

My father who was there in the house, he wasn't at all a role model. And my mother, who was trying to protect me from him as best she could, she took me everywhere with her, which gave me a tremendous amount of sensitivity to the things women go through.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope of what happened to you from being different.

It's always been easier for me to have a costume to hide behind.
