How did you get all this cast in your movie? It's incredible.

Lee Daniels: A lot of prayer and a lot of love. And a lot of friendship. And a lot of trust. And a lot of soul, and a lot of belief.

Lenny Kravitz: Amen.


Is it really different to play, to sing? Is it like do you consider both different?

Mariah Carey: I consider them completely different. As an artist, I have creativity that needs to be released and I know Lenny can understand this. It's a different side of my creative self and I'm so grateful to Lee for allowing me to release that. This is a moment I'll never forget. I'm a totally different person, in totally different moment but I'm grateful to Gabby (co-star Sibide) and to everyone that worked together... ["Hero" starts to play in the background] Oh my goodness. I wrote this way back when. Haha. Merci beaucoup.
