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

My friend Madea has "attitude" that comes with wisdom. Back in our teens and twenties, we thought we knew everything and made all those foolish mistakes. Then, when we got a little older, at thirty, we started getting these flashes of light, revelations of what a great and lucky thing it is that we didn't get caught doing those stupid things back then. Around forty, if we are lucky, we stop lying to ourselves. Fifty and above, we've run out of patience for foolishness. Take me to the bottom line.

I think that people think when you have money that your problems go away and everything's solved, and it's great and wonderful. You're a perfect human being.

Focus on one thing, make it your priority, and stick with it no matter what!
