Forgiveness is important in families, especially when there are so many secrets that need to be healed - for the most part, every family's got them.
Tyler Perry
It's not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you.
Tyler Perry
People see truth in my films. That's what they react to, and that's what they relate to.
Tyler Perry
Growing up, there was always music around, whether across the street, or on the next-door neighbor's stereo. So, as in life, music is always around, and it helps to heighten any emotion. Music is amazing.
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.

...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
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
Keep your dreams ALIVE. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how many people talk about you they're going to throw dirt on you but that's alright, when they put you in that box (after your dead), they're going to put dirt on you some more, so that's okay - GO, don't be afraid, have NO FEAR.
Tyler Perry
The important thing for me is, and what I'd like people to know is that, one particular genre does not make it whole. There are many, many different genres and if you ever gave it an opportunity open mindedly, I think you'd find some pretty interesting things there.
Tyler Perry
Life is so precious, such a gift, and that you have to live for you.
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
Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.
Tyler Perry
Seeing people laugh definitely inspires me, and so does seeing people get life lessons about living better.
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
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
Flying radio-controlled airplanes [is my guiltiest pleasure]. Only God would give me a hobby where I'm looking up to the sky. It's the only time where I am able to focus and concentrate on nothing but looking up. It's a fascinating hobby.
Tyler Perry
You let your past destroy you, or you use it to create something better
Tyler Perry
The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.
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
