More quotes by Tyler Perry
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.
Tyler Perry
You know, people don't want their intelligence insulted. They don't want to be preached to. They don't want to be degraded. All they want to do is sit, laugh, have a good time, love one another, forget about what's going on in the world, and find something out so they can be useful in this life. Do this and you have common sense.
Tyler Perry
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.
Tyler Perry
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 so important to forgive people for their wrongs in your own life because every bit of it was for a reason-it was to form the person that you are.
Tyler Perry
I know my audience, and they're not people that the studios know anything about.
Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry
I thank God for Closed Doors
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
we didn't have much, but we had love.
Tyler Perry
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
There's nothing like real forgiveness, a deep-down forgiveness where you don't hold any grudges against people. I forgave for the things they didn't know and for the things they didn't know to do.
Tyler Perry
I want to own a network. I want to own a network where you can turn it on with your family all day long and get positive reinforcement.
Tyler Perry
I've never chased money. It's always been about what I can do to motivate and inspire people.
Tyler Perry
Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.
Tyler Perry
Oprah is very, very, very special to me. She's an amazing woman.
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
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
