My life has never been defined as Roland Martin, CNN; Roland Martin, TVOne; or Roland Martin, 'Tom Joyner Morning Show.' I'm appreciative of all of those platforms, but I've done all different things. I'm still Roland Martin.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first job in television was on 'My So-Called Life.'
Johnny Carson was a big influence on me - all of those shows I did with him over the years, like, 100 of them, they made a bit of a name for me at the time, so that part of my life was very good.
My life won't be a series of either/ors - musician or actor, rock or country, straitlaced or rebellious, this or that, yes or no. The real choices in life aren't that simple.
Adrian Leon LeBlanc, my dad and my namesake, his keen joy in observing people and the world is the reason I became a journalist.
Steve Martin is one of my favorite performers, writers, artists of all time.
'My Life' is not an autobiography. It's just music.
Before I had children, everything about my life was devoted to Saturday Night Live.
During a long career in TV broadcasting, I spent a lot of time contributing to other people's creations.
I've always been exactly who I am on TV. I'm not playing a role.
TV and film has defined my entire life.
