As part of my relationship with my wife and my daughter, and we share everything and talk about everything.

In Vienna, when I was a year-and-a-half or two years-old. I remember it because I remember the little blue raincoat I used to wear, and how the buttons felt.

Boris Kodjoe
I'm in the booth and first of all, I'm from Germany and I had never heard a gospel in my life.
Boris Kodjoe
We are willing to weather the storm of multiple failures to achieve a goal. We're so convinced in the destination that we are able to let go of the reins and give it to God.
Boris Kodjoe
I had to study acting to basically educate myself.
Boris Kodjoe
We have relationships and know the exact outcome with that person because we don't deal with ourselves and don't deal with our issues and end up being attracted to the same person or the person is attracted to our energy.
Boris Kodjoe
I don't care if you are religious or not and I think the message is that at the end of the day, everybody has to mature and everybody has to heal and mend their own injuries, emotional injuries, on their own pace.
Boris Kodjoe
I went back and researched the history of gospel where it came from, slavery times, communicating with each other without their master knowing what they are saying, and that gospel artists view themselves differently.
Boris Kodjoe
It's a tremendous honor to be asked to carry a show.
