I remember being a kid and praying in the hell of my house to have somebody love me and somebody that I could love.
From Tyler Perry
I knew that love was around. I truly believe my mother loved me. But feeling it all the time? I didn't.
Did you know you can't say 'Jesus' in a sitcom? They told me that, and I was like, You gotta be kiddin' me. If you don't want my God here, you don't want me here either.
My family never went to a restaurant together; we never went to the movies together. Vacation, we never did that.
If you look at everything I do - even in 'Boo!' there's a message, and it's always 'faith, family, forgiveness.' That's the greatest gift that I've been given. I can get a message to the very people I grew up with, the millions who love what I do.
I have a fear of tubes and tunnels. Going through any tunnel causes me great anxiety.
I am an architect at heart. I designed every home I've ever had, plus my studio.
I've been trying to learn to ski for years, but there's something about being 6-foot-5 and falling that's not appealing.
Seven years after my mother's passing, I still reach for the phone for a split second to call her. We spoke every day.
Very early on, when I started doing these plays and live shows, I would travel from city to city, and there were a million shows out there... so I wanted to step out among it, and I started putting my name above the title.
