You know what the question is that a lot of people ask me all the time, ‘How did you make it, how did you make it?’ Well I tell you there is only one answer for that,…..The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God…..I say this in the press all the time but people will cut it out of articles or they don’t wanna print it or they don’t wanna say it,

15. Don’t believe the hype. I don’t care how many number ones you have at the box office, I don’t care how much they say you’re great, don’t believe it. Just stay in your lane and do what you’re supposed to do.

16. I’m not afraid to have a character say, ‘I am a Christian,’ or, ‘I believe in God,’ because I think they represent real people on this Earth.
