I knew going in that being a single parent would be one of the toughest jobs I'd ever have. I'd been a talk-show host, actor, comic, and on and on, but this gig was going to be my defining moment.

You never get rid of something that has a positive foundation.

I don't know what my life needs but I know I need some balance.

I love being in a relationship, but marriage isn't for me.

At one point in my career, while still hosting 'The Arsenio Hall Show,' I was told by my doctor that it might not be physically possible for me to have children.

You go out with a girl you used to date, she looks so damn good, and then at a certain point you say, Boy, now I remember. I know why I left!

I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didn't want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you don't answer.

The way I approach stardom and the show, I'm like a politician. I'm an elected late-night official to do your work.

I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

If God wanted us high, He would have given us wings.

I've never understood what the upside of marriage would be for me personally.
