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.

Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.

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

It's a dream realized to partner with Oprah and bring scripted programming to OWN. She has accomplished so much with the network, and I'm excited to work with her to be a part of its continued growth.

The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.

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.

You need to know that you can't honor God when you're chained to the voice and opinions of man.
