I work three months really hard, nonstop, and then I take a month off. Then I do it all over again. I work hard but I give myself four breaks a year.
From Tyler Perry
I know my audience, and they're not people that the studios know anything about.
What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one.
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'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.
If you don't want my God here, you don't want me here either. God has been too good to me to go and try to sell out to get some money.
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.
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.
I think that with everything I've done, in the end, whoever the central character is, they would find a way to forgive, because that's really important to me.
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.
