I'm very familiar with Tyler Perry.

I think of Alan Thicke as Perry Como without the excitement.

Off-camera, I sound like Perry Como.

People know Tyler Perry, and there are standards they've come to expect from him. His brand is uplifting, and it's something a lot of inner-city African-Americans can relate to.

Working with Tyler Perry has been a wonderful experience. Everything he touches turns to gold, it seems like.

You've got to feel a little nervous when you first meet Spielberg. The guy's an apparition.

There are still plenty of movie people peddling black stereotypes. I guess Tyler Perry's probably the most massively successful.

The only thing that frightens me a little is when I'm called Kevin rather than Fred, but that's how people have known me for so many years. So, I can't really blame them.

I've always maintained my name will not define my films, my films will define my name. But I wish I was called Steve, or something else.

Tyler Perry's 'Madea Goes to Jail!' Which, I have to tell you, of everything that I've ever done in my career, that's the only thing that's perked up the ears of my nieces and nephews. That is it, that's done it for them. That made me a bona fide star in their eyes!
