Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable. I love my mother to this day. One of the most painful things I ever had to do was bury her, realizing that even though I was her hero, I couldn't help her with this last thing. I couldn't help her get better. All I wanted was to give her everything she wanted. Everything my father didn't give her, everything she never had. View quote

Those audiences are my critics. They tell me right away! I learnt very early on how far I can go, what I can and can't say on stage. They inspire the stories that I tell, and how I tell them. It has to be something that the core can relate to. And what I'm finding is that if you serve the core, it grows, and you find a whole new audience. View quote
