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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
