My grandfather died before I was born, so I never had the chance to speak with him about his father. But I learned about him from books.

I was always the slightly fat kid, which used to bother me quite a bit.

Even before I really started, no one said I would make it. But I always had belief.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

Working with Bill Cosby was incredible. I was lucky to be a part of that.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
