“I'm gonna direct, like, a real movie. At least an hour and some change.” — Damon Dash

Lee Daniels, even though he owes me $2 million, I picked that. I put him in business.

I might have companies, I might have buildings, I might have art. But money? No, I'm not holding that.

Everyone I put in business, I must've taught them something. They all have reaped the benefits of it. A lot of them haven't done right by me, but it's all gravy.

It's hard not to be confident when you put in business the biggest black male in comedy, Kevin Hart. I know I took him off a stage and put him in his first four movies. I know I did that.
