More quotes by Tyler Perry
I think we are born into what we're supposed to learn and find out in this life.
Tyler Perry
My father who was there in the house, he wasn't at all a role model. And my mother, who was trying to protect me from him as best she could, she took me everywhere with her, which gave me a tremendous amount of sensitivity to the things women go through.
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 at Wal-Mart are standing there with their uniforms on. I feel like I'm putting on a uniform to do a movie. I don't feel like it's dressing in drag.
Tyler Perry
I don't think the dreams die - I think that people give up. I think it gets too hard.
Tyler Perry
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
You can never be upset with the people who forced you into your dream or up higher.
Tyler Perry
My biggest success is getting over the things that have tried to destroy and take me out of this life. Those are my biggest successes. It has nothing to do with work.
Tyler Perry
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.
Tyler Perry
Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.
Tyler Perry
I know my audience, and they're not people that the studios know anything about.
Tyler Perry
People see truth in my films. That's what they react to, and that's what they relate to.
Tyler Perry
I put a thong on a few months ago trying to be sexy. I've been looking for it but ain't seen it since.
Tyler Perry
I want an open dialogue. I want husbands and wives and people in relationships to walk out of the theater thinking, Could this happen to me? I know I'm being tempted.
Tyler Perry
Rather than focus on your critics, focus on the people who are impacted by your work.
Tyler Perry
You need to know that you can't honor God when you're chained to the voice and opinions of man.
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
I get a lot of flack from critics that my comedies are all over the place, my dramas are all over the place, they're schizophrenic - as if I don't know that!
Tyler Perry
I tell people, if you're thinking about suicide, all that stuff I've attempted and thought about it. If you think about it, life gets better. The key to life when it gets tough is to keep moving. Just keep moving.
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.
