I think it's important to show a husband and a wife together, in a room, raising children, because you don't see that anymore.

Life is so precious, such a gift, and that you have to live for you.

I've been doing television for quite some time, so Oprah Winfrey and I thought it was a great idea to partner up. I am going to buy my own network and I thought it was a great opportunity for both of us. It's a win-win because I get the opportunity to give her what she needs, which is programming, and at the same time, I get to learn how to run a network.

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 try not to take on the weight or the burden of it. Once it's on the paper, I try to leave it, because I want to surrender to what I'm supposed to write about.

It's most important that you surround yourself with positivity always, and have it in your mind at all times.

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