More quotes by Tyler Perry
All my life I've tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it.
Tyler Perry
I don't think the dreams die - I think that people give up. I think it gets too hard.
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
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 thank God for Closed Doors
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
Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.
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
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
I'm not suspicious of success, I'm suspicious of the people who want to attach themselves because of your success.
Tyler Perry
Happiness for me is totally just being at peace knowing that, everything I'm doing, God is pleased with that. It's complete peace for me.
Tyler Perry
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.
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
What I've never wanted to do was allow myself to be put in a box, so I've tried to do a lot of different things so this is a step in trying to do something different so we'll see how it goes. I'm under no illusions that this is slam-dunk. I did the best I could and that's all I can rely on.
Tyler Perry
Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.
Tyler Perry
Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.
Tyler Perry
...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.
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
My mother was truly my saving grace, because she would take me to church with her. I would see my mother smiling in the choir, and I wanted to know this God that made her so happy. If I had not had that faith in my life, I don't know where I would be right now.
Tyler Perry
If you've ever watched anything that I do, and you completely give it a chance and take the blinders off, and you'll understand that the underlying theme of everything I've done has been about forgiveness, learning to move on.
Tyler Perry
