More quotes by 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
Statistics say that I'm supposed to be in jail. And I'm not supposed to be alive.
Tyler Perry
Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.
Tyler Perry
Once you're truly happy with yourself alone, that's when you are safe to find the right person to spend the rest of your life with.
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
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 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
True love can come more than once.
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
You let your past destroy you, or you use it to create something better
Tyler Perry
Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life.
Tyler Perry
There was our house in New Orleans. Two blocks in front of us were these beautiful mansions and two blocks behind us were the ghetto, projects, and that's where I had to go to school, but I would always pattern my life looking forward. It was almost literal.
Tyler Perry
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
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
When you haven't forgiven those who've hurt you, you turn back against your future. When you do forgive, you start walking forward.
Tyler Perry
I am so proud to be from New Orleans and to be one of those people who had been displaced. I wasn't there during that time, but that's where I come from, that kind of poverty, and I'm very, very proud of that because it's given me my history.
Tyler Perry
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.
Tyler Perry
Music is always around, and it helps to heighten any emotion.
Tyler Perry
Don't make a black woman take off her earrings.
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
