'Madea' is a Southern term. It's short for 'mother dear.' So there are a lot of Madeas out there.

I know that my audience is largely women, so what I try to do a lot of times is address their issues.
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.
