I know my audience, and they're not people that the studios know anything about.
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.

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.

A miniskirt shows just enough to cause some mystery. What these young women lack is mystery so the old women have to have it.

It's always been easier for me to have a costume to hide behind.

...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 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.

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.

Rather than focus on your critics, focus on the people who are impacted by your work.
Tyler Perry
Image
I think that people think when you have money that your problems go away and everything's solved, and it's great and wonderful. You're a perfect human being.
Tyler Perry
Image
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.
Tyler Perry
Image
The question that a lot of people ask me all the time is how did you make it? The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God.
Tyler Perry

As far as the illusion of the fame, yes, I can definitely appreciate it.
Tyler Perry

Life is so precious, such a gift, and that you have to live for you.

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.
Tyler Perry
Image
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.
