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.

More quotes by Tyler Perry
There's a huge demand for my entertainment, and I can't meet the need. So I decided to try a TV show to reach as many of my fans as possible.
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
Oprah is very, very, very special to me. She's an amazing woman.
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
A degree on the wall, without labels on your back, is nothing.
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
What I've never wanted to do was allow myself to be put in a box, so I've tried to do a lot of different things so this is a step in trying to do something different so we'll see how it goes. I'm under no illusions that this is slam-dunk. I did the best I could and that's all I can rely on.
Tyler Perry
I don't do divas. I don't do entourages. I don't do the Hollywood crap.
Tyler Perry
Fear is a sprit that really can stop you from living.
Tyler Perry
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
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 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 thank God for Closed Doors
Tyler Perry
There were certain areas in the country where I couldn't go without being stopped and asked for autographs and pictures for years.
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
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
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
People say the truth hurts. Hell no, it hurts even more if you do a whole bunch of foolishness to try and avoid it.
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
The question that a lot of people ask me all the time is how did you make it? The truth be told, it was nothing but the grace of God.
Tyler Perry
