Rashad explained in an interview with Vibe Movies & TV in 2010, that `` I saw the original Broadway play. I thought it was amazing how such a story that was n't pretty was poetry. Usually poetry is about lofty things and this was the poetry of speech and the movement of everyday people. I found a little bit of it off - putting to tell you the truth, because it was so angry when I saw it. And I think Tyler Perry has added an element here that was n't in the original stage production, and that is the necessity for taking responsibility for one 's own self otherwise you are just living to die. That is where he wrote the line ( in the film ), `` You got ta take some responsibility in this. Otherwise you are just living to die ''. In 2012, she starred in another Tyler Perry movie Good Deeds.
