KEVIN HARTI’m happy about working; I’m happy about gracing the stage and coming out and making people laugh.
KEVIN HARTAs a producer, as a CEO of Hartbeat Productions, I am making deals to put my company in place to win, to put my staff to work so that while all this stuff is going on, they’re in the kitchen cooking.

The movies and all that stuff are great, but the fact that I’m in a position to do what I want to do, however I want to do it and when I want to do it is bigger.
