When I did Color Purple, after I got the Color Purple dream fulfilled, because I never wanted to do anything more than Color Purple, after that dream got fulfilled for me,
I started to think God can dream a bigger dream for me than I can dream for myself.
So here's the story that I love to share with people.
I went to my friend's house who was a producer on the Oprah show, Arlene Wiener.
And her husband was very wealthy, still is.
And he was a big-time lawyer, and Arlene had, like,
All these different cars in her driveway.
But I wasn't as impressed with the cars as I was the trees.
When I went inside her house, there were all these trees outside in the yard.
And I counted from her kitchen window, six trees.
And I thought, that's what rich people do.
