In his words, the 43-year-old actor said: "'People are watching you.' This was a constant refrain from my mother, reminding me that actions have ramifications. How I represent myself mattered. Now more than ever, my mother's mantra echos in my mind,"  

Brown continued: "It's a wonderful privilege and enormous responsibility to be seen on network television because now I have what people refer to as a platform. People aren't just watching, they want to hear what I have to say, which has begged the question, what do I want to say?"

"Whether with my acting or as a producer with my new production company Indian Meadows, or with any charitable organization I choose to partner with, or whether I'm home with family and friends, my hope is to entertain, educate and edify," he added.

The 'Supernatural' star strongly believes that people don't just watch but want to be able to hear what he has to say. And this has pressed him with curiosity on what he shall say whether as an actor or as a producer or with any organization he chooses to work with.

Brown runs a production house, Indian Meadows. Despite all the circumstances that come along in his life, the actor is however always certain on what he wants to do and it is his hope to 'entertain, educate and edify.'

Sterling added: "If I can make people laugh, encourage to them to think and inspire them to be a better version of themselves, I consider myself blessed to live a life worth living." then thanking the broadcasters for improving the lives of its viewers and listeners 'every day'.
