I was watching the Oprah show one day and she said that it's cathartic to write things down, so I started writing down the stuff that was happening to me. I started using different characters' names, because if someone had found my journal, I didn't want them to know I had been through that kind of stuff. That's how my first play 'I Know I've Been Changed' started, which features a character who confronts an abuser, forgives him and moves on.

You know what? That's a high-brow comment. It comes from a certain culture or certain kind of Black person. But, what is clear and obvious to me is that there's a disconnect between those type of people and African-American Black folks, because I can take you to my neighborhood right now and you will see 20 of those women. They're not stereotypes. They exist. They're real. And people think that they don't exist.

I don't want to just do movies to do movies. I want to do movies that inspire, motivate, and change lives. And as long as I'm doing that, I feel like I'm doing the right thing.

Madea is such an inviting figure. That's why I'll never change her. She'll never be saved. She'll never be Christian. She is the disarmer to invite people to come in and see the movie. And then, I'll have other characters represent that too.
