If you're black, you can't just be ordinary. All successful black people are extraordinary.

I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not.

There's a huge demand for my entertainment, and I can't meet the need. So I decided to try a TV show to reach as many of my fans as possible.

I was a very poor young black boy in New Orleans, just a face without a name, swimming in a sea of poverty trying to survive.

My mother was truly my saving grace, because she would take me to church with her. I would see my mother smiling in the choir, and I wanted to know this God that made her so happy. If I had not had that faith in my life, I don't know where I would be right now.

I'm just enjoying my life.I suggest you try it.

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.
