ADD QUOTES
- Mekhi Phifer: I grew up in a single-parent house, but my mother was everything for me and my younger brother. She laid a foundation for us, and now she can sit back and reap the benefits of all of her hard work. She taught me to get out there and be the best I can be, and that's the main reason why I work so hard, because she instilled that in me. (Rolling Out, 12/05/01)
