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.

You know, people don't want their intelligence insulted. They don't want to be preached to. They don't want to be degraded. All they want to do is sit, laugh, have a good time, love one another, forget about what's going on in the world, and find something out so they can be useful in this life. Do this and you have common sense.

I haven't had a worst business decision, because I believe all things work together for good.

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.

I want to own a network. I want to own a network where you can turn it on with your family all day long and get positive reinforcement.

I look at the stories that Spike Lee tells... Great stories. Great director, great storyteller.

I've never chased money. It's always been about what I can do to motivate and inspire people.
