I try not to take on the weight or the burden of it. Once it's on the paper, I try to leave it, because I want to surrender to what I'm supposed to write about.
Tyler Perry

I'm good at giving up control to people who know where they're going and what they want to do. I can sit in the back of a car and ride cross-country if you know where you're going and you know how to take me there.

The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.

God gives everyone a lane and no one can beat you in your lane. Just stay focused on Him and what you are supposed to do. And everything will be alright.

I'm very open to fresh talent, and I love the underdog, people who have been counted out, because they come in with a different type of hunger. I'm all for the underdog, so I'd like to talk to anybody who shows up with that sort of thirst.

The road that I'm on is a path that I didn't choose. It chose me. I'm just trying to walk it, and to do the best that I can to honor and respect it.

Seeing people laugh definitely inspires me, and so does seeing people get life lessons about living better.
Tyler Perry
Image
If you don't want my God here, you don't want me here either. God has been too good to me to go and try to sell out to get some money...
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.

Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.

You can get a thousand no's from people, and only one yes from God.

Flying radio-controlled airplanes [is my guiltiest pleasure]. Only God would give me a hobby where I'm looking up to the sky. It's the only time where I am able to focus and concentrate on nothing but looking up. It's a fascinating hobby.

I know my audience, and they're not people that the studios know anything about.
Tyler Perry
Image
When I have absolutely nothing to do, and I find myself in the middle of all of it going, Wow! When nothing's going on, that's when I get to stop and really appreciate the journey.

...when you put on your shortest dress, please leave some mystery in it. That's the difference between a miniskirt and a ho-skirt. A ho-skirt shows your Frisbee. A miniskirt shows just enough to cause some mystery. What these young women lack is mystery.

I have this huge, huge fan base of people who've never seen a Broadway show, but I think it's a great introduction to what Broadway is because my shows are not that. I think that if you're getting people to go to theater then somebody should be celebrating that.
