A mother’s love is stronger than distance, more powerful than time and can transcend the grave.
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.
The important thing for me is, and what I’d like people to know is that, one particular genre does not make it whole. There are many, many different genres and if you ever gave it an opportunity open mindedly, I think you’d find some pretty interesting things there.
My biggest success is getting over the things that have tried to destroy and take me out of this life. Those are my biggest successes. It has nothing to do with work.
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.
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 don’t want my God here, you don’t want me here either. God has been too good to me to go and try to sell out to get some money.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope of what happened to you from being different.
I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you.
If you are in business trying to make it, things are falling apart and you can’t get it together and you don’t know what is going on and you wanna stop. Don’t stop. The only way you can make it and have true success in your life. And there’s one way. You can’t have any fear.
I have this huge, huge fan base of people who’ve never seen a Broadway show, but I think it’s a great introduction to what Broadway is because my shows are not that. I think that if you’re getting people to go to theater then somebody should be celebrating that.
