  • CHILD COMING UP.

  • I CHOOSE TO GO POSITIVE INSTEAD OF NEGATIVE AND BECAUSE OF THAT

  • MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD IS AMAZING NOW AND MY DAD

  • THAT'S TIME AND ENERGY.

  • THE TIME IT TAKES YOU TO GO I DON'T LIKE THAT PERSON AND KEEP

  • THAT IN YOU IS A LOT OF TIME THAT CAN BE DEVOTED TO BE

  • POSITIVE.

  • >> Stephen: NELSON MANDELA SAID HOLDING A GRUDGE IS LIKE

  • DRINKING POISON AND THINKING IT WILL KILL THE OTHER PERSON.

  • EVERYTHING EVERY BLACK MAN SAID.

  • >> NO, BUT YOU SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT NELSON MANDELA SAID -- AND

  • I WAS, LIKE, OH, (BLEEP), I DIDN'T KNOW.

  • PROJECTS WITH.

  • ANY PARTICULAR PEOPLE WHO GAVE YOU LESSONS ON THE SET OR --

  • LIKE YOU DID -- WHAT DID YOU DO -- YOU DID SOUL PLAYING WITH

  • SNOOP.

  • DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING FROM SNOOP?

  • >> YEAH, I LEARNED YOU SHOULDN'T SMOKE OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT.

  • YEAH.

  • THAT'S A TRUE STORY.

  • YEAH.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THAT'S HARD NOT TO

  • WITH SNOOP.

  • >> WELL, THERE IS A POINT WITH SNOOP YOU JUST HAD TO GO, WHERE

  • ARE WE TRYING TO GET TO?

  • LIKE, WHAT'S THE END GAME?

  • ELSE, BECAUSE THIS -- I DON'T THINK THIS IS THE HIGH YOU'RE

  • LOOKING FOR, MAN!

  • PEOPLE ARE DEAD.

  • LIKE, EVERYBODY ELSE IS DEAD.

  • >> Stephen: EVERYBODY'S OUT AND HE'S STILL DRIVING ON.

  • >> AT THIS POINT, YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF.

  • LIKE, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE TALKING.

  • SO I THINK FOR SNOOP, MAN, IT WAS A LOT OF THINGS.

  • IF I SAW SNOOP OVER THERE, HE'S, LIKE, COME SMOKE WITH YOUR

  • UNCLE, I'M GOING TO SAY I HAVE ASTHMA.

  • I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING.

  • I'M NOT GOING OVER THERE.

  • I DID IT ONCE AND IT DIDN'T END WELL.

  • I THINK I HONESTLY -- LIKE, I'M NOT A DRUG GUY.

  • I KNOW WHAT MY DAD DID AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT, BUT SNOOP,

  • THIS WAS A LEGENDARY MOMENT, YOU GOT TO SMOKE WITH SNOOP IF YOU

  • GET A CHANCE.

  • I HAVE TO SAY, DON'T DO DRUGS, BUT IF YOU DO DO IT, DO IT WITH

  • SNOOP.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

  • >> Stephen: QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY.

  • >> QUALITY.

  • I SMOKE WITH SNOOP.

  • >> Stephen: THIS BOOK ENDS WITH YOU SAYING GO FORTH AND

  • PROSPER.

  • >> YES.

  • >> Stephen: WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THE END OF A CHURCH SERVICE, GO

  • FORTH AND PROSPER.

  • WILL THIS BOOK MAKE PEOPLE RICH?

  • IF THEY READ THIS BOOK, WILL THEY HAVE A PROSPEROUS LIFE?

  • >> ABSOLUTELY NOT.

  • WHAT YOU WILL HAVE IS A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE IN YOUR

  • APPROACH TO BECOMING PROSPEROUS.

  • THAT'S WHAT THIS BOOK WILL DO.

  • THIS BOOK WILL SIMPLY MAKE YOU STAY TRUE TO YOUR DREAM.

  • IT WILL MAKE YOU BE DETERMINED TO FIND THE SUCCESSFUL VERSION

  • OF YOURSELF.

  • AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANT PEOPLE TO BE BETTER.

  • THAT'S WHY I'M SHARING THIS INFORMATION.

  • I DON'T WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL BY MYSELF.

  • THERE IS ENOUGH SUCCESS IN THE WORLD FOR EVERYBODY.

  • EVERYBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A PIECE.

  • I THINK IF EVERYBODY ADAPTS THAT MINDSET, THAT OUR WORLD WILL

  • ULTIMATELY BECOME A BETTER PLACE.

  • ATES CRAB IN A BARREL MENTALITY NOW AND IT TAKES PEOPLE TO SPEAK

  • UP ABOUT BEING POSITIVE AND BRINGING PEOPLE CLOSE TOGETHER

  • AND THAT'S WHAT I DO, MAN.

  • >> Stephen: WHAT IS A CRAB IN A BARREL MENTALITY?

  • >> A CRAB IN A BARREL.

  • YOU PUT A BUNCH OF CRABS IN A BEFORE REEL, EVERY CRAB THAT

  • TRIES TO CLIMB OUT OF THE BARREL, THERE'S ANOTHER CRAB

  • THAT'S GOING TO GRAB THE CRAB AND PULL HIM BACK IN.

  • EVENTUALLY NO CRABS GET OUT OF THE BARREL BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL

  • PULLING EACH OTHER DOWN TRYING TO GET TO THE TOP.

  • NO CRAB IS HELPING.

  • HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT?

  • >> Stephen: BECAUSE I HAVEN'T READ YOUR DAMN BOOK YET.

  • ( LAUGHTER ) KEVIN, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

  • "I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP" GOES ON SALE TOMORROW!

  • GO FORTH AND PROSPER! KEVIN HART, EVERYBODY!

  • BACK WITH ALI WENTWORTH!
