Lee Daniels

I wanted to make a black 'Dynasty.'

People enjoy making fun of people who are famous; they love putting people down.

To come into my world, I've got some M&Ms and some potato chips, and I'm asking you to move furniture. We're making a movie. We're making it like we're putting on a play.

I love Hindi films.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

I spent time at my grandfather Dino's gourmet store where he brought in chefs from Naples to cook. I thought of them as rock stars.
