More quotes by Tyler Perry
I'm not sure why no one wants to admit there's a viable audience out there that believes in God and wants to see a movie with their family. The demand is there. The supply is not.
Tyler Perry
Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.
Tyler Perry
True love can come more than once.
Tyler Perry
When black women are down with you and in your corner, you have an ally that will move Heaven and Earth.
Tyler Perry
I don't think the dreams die - I think that people give up. I think it gets too hard.
Tyler Perry
There's nothing like real forgiveness, a deep-down forgiveness where you don't hold any grudges against people. I forgave for the things they didn't know and for the things they didn't know to do.
Tyler Perry
I know that my audience is largely women, so what I try to do a lot of times is address their issues.
Tyler Perry
I realized that here's a moment for me to learn so until I learn and understand more about how types of films are done - action, sci-fi - even though I have a desire to do it, I won't go into it until I'm very clear that I can do it and that moment hasn't come yet. Maybe one day I will ready, but for now, I just enjoyed playing the character.
Tyler Perry
You know, people don't want their intelligence insulted. They don't want to be preached to. They don't want to be degraded. All they want to do is sit, laugh, have a good time, love one another, forget about what's going on in the world, and find something out so they can be useful in this life. Do this and you have common sense.
Tyler Perry
I know I can only do as much as I can do... Although I have so many ideas of my own, I'm still very interested in helping to cultivate and encourage some promising new artists. But there are a lot of people and, unfortunately, a very small window.
Tyler Perry
I love to see a woman in high-heeled shoes. There's something about the curve of the feet up the leg to the butt that's really, really wonderful, and the right pair of shoes can give you the right silhouette.
Tyler Perry
Hollywood is finally waking up to the fact that people who go to church also go to the movies. I'm not sure what took them so long to see that or how long they'll keep it up.
Tyler Perry
Life is so precious, such a gift, and that you have to live for you.
Tyler Perry
Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.
Tyler Perry
I had one request when I started doing the plays. My prayer was: God let me do well enough to be able to take care of my mother. I was able to do that 'til the day she died because of my audience. So, they've already done enough. All I ask for now is their continued support.
Tyler Perry
What excites me? Had you asked me that question a few years ago, the answer would’ve rolled right off my tongue. Today, I think it's moving and uplifting my audience. Having them get it and go with it. That excites me.
Tyler Perry
Don't believe the hype. I don't care how many number ones you have at the box office, I don't care how much they say you're great, don't believe it. Just stay in your lane and do what you're supposed to do.
Tyler Perry
Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.
Tyler Perry
Seeing people laugh definitely inspires me, and so does seeing people get life lessons about living better.
Tyler Perry
I never thought of myself as a mogul, but it's really great to be in that position.
