More quotes by 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'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
What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
Tyler Perry

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
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
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

Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry
I've always wanted to work with Blair, and finally the timing was right. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. I think he's a hugely underrated actor in Hollywood.
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
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
My biggest success is getting over the things that have tried to destroy and take me out of this life. Those are my biggest successes. It has nothing to do with work.
Tyler Perry
It takes a week to do a sitcom in Hollywood. I do a show a day in my studio, three or four shows a week.
Tyler Perry
Don't wait for someone to green light your project, build your own intersection.
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
I think we are born into what we're supposed to learn and find out in this life.
Tyler Perry
Don't make a black woman take off her earrings.
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 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
