Well,
That first chapter, you're going to die tonight.
Obviously, I'm a storyteller.
I wanted the book to be impactful, but I also wanted it to be light.
I wanted it to not be heavy reading.
I wanted it to be something that you can breeze through.
Hopefully, I've accomplished that.
I've heard that from some folks.
It's light.
It's fun.
It's like me.
It doesn't take itself too, too seriously.
It's got funny, fun moments.
In the first chapter, I tell the story of
dealing with Kevin Hart, our first, both of the biggest movies of our career at that time, which was Ride Along.
And Kevin Hart, you have to read the book to get the whole story, but him basically unintentionally sabotaging this shoot, this very important shoot by sneaking off to try to go and do a comedy show at Madison Square Garden and me ending up in a nightclub with bottles being popped all around me and Carmelo Anthony telling me, we all dying tonight.
I got to get Kevin back to Atlanta because we're shooting this movie.
He was going to come up and do a show and go back.
I'm dealing with all of that.
The point is you have to expect the unexpected.
