It takes a week to do a sitcom in Hollywood. I do a show a day in my studio, three or four shows a week.

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.

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.

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.

We don't have to wait for people to green light our projects, we can create our own intersections.

The question that a lot of people ask me all the time is how did you make it? The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God.

I think we are born into what we're supposed to learn and find out in this life.
