'Madea' is a Southern term. It's short for 'mother dear.' So there are a lot of Madeas out there.

My mother wasn't strong like my aunt. She was just very passive.

A mother's love is stronger than distance, more powerful than time and can transcend the grave.

I had one request when I started doing the plays. My prayer was: God let me do well enough to be able to take care of my mother. I was able to do that 'til the day she died because of my audience. So, they've already done enough. All I ask for now is their continued support.
