“I think there are parts of me in both. I’m a nice person, a sweet, good-hearted person but I do have that side of telling it like it is. I love [comedy] because I’m so used to being in comedy. I laughed so much on this movie. It was a good vibe on set.” In A Madea Christmas, Madea shares the screen with a dysfunctional white family. Sumpter says that the universal themes of the movie will resonate for anyone.
“I don’t care who you are, we all have embarrassing family members. Madea’s not alone in the world of tell-it-like-it-is embarrassing family members. Just try to accept people for exactly who they are, I think that’s the message throughout.”
