I wanted just for people to know that, no matter how simple your life is, if you have millions or you don't have anything, you can be happy where you are.
Tyler Perry

I totally give credit to God for all of this stuff, because if I had tried to make these things happen, I couldn't have. To have all these things happen has been absolutely amazing. 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.
