More quotes by Tyler Perry
Tyler Perry's brand is faith, family and this whole thing that I've built, while my company, 34th Street Films, is like Disney's Touchstone. We can do anything. People don't know what to expect from me yet.
Tyler Perry
What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
Tyler Perry
Ever since I've been blessed with success, I've struggled a little with anonymity and even family. I've had people calling asking for money, and I have to ask them first, 'Are you working? Have you been trying to help yourself?' Then I feel like I can help.
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 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
I was a very poor young black boy in New Orleans, just a face without a name, swimming in a sea of poverty trying to survive.
Tyler Perry
What I've learned is you treat women right.
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
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
You need to know that you can't honor God when you're chained to the voice and opinions of man.
Tyler Perry
When it all comes down to it, life isn't about how much we get - it's about how much we share.
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
You can never be upset with the people who forced you into your dream or up higher.
Tyler Perry
I live my life outside of the box because when I die they're going to put me into one!
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
When black women are down with you and in your corner, you have an ally that will move Heaven and Earth.
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'm a child who was abused. I know the difference. I clearly know the difference. The whipping for correction and then their child abuse.
Tyler Perry
I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you.
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
