My life has always been - there's never been a middle. Either I had or I didn't. Either I was up or I was down.
From Tyler Perry
You know, people at Wal-Mart are standing there with their uniforms on. I feel like I'm putting on a uniform to do a movie. I don't feel like it's dressing in drag.
'Madea' is a Southern term. It's short for 'mother dear.' So there are a lot of Madeas out there.
Oprah is very, very, very special to me. She's an amazing woman.
I feel like I died as a child.
My mother wasn't strong like my aunt. She was just very passive.
I think there's something that happens at 40 where you settle into your own skin and you stop caring what people think - you realize life is a gift from God and you want to live it to the fullest.
It's a dream realized to partner with Oprah and bring scripted programming to OWN. She has accomplished so much with the network, and I'm excited to work with her to be a part of its continued growth.
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.
I'm not an artist. I set the camera up and tell my story.
