Sound Bite: Tyler Perry – who’s making the decisions
Madea, she’s the loudest one speaking but uh Tyler Perry is pretty much making the decisions yeah. |
| 04:11:31 31.13 |
Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
But I write from a place of thinking about all of that. I think about you know I tell the story but I’m think about ok I’m on a budget here and ok I know which actors I want to try and hire for this so I I take it all in consideration as I’m writing so I don’t allow myself to just go 200 million dollar movie you know because the Producer in me would start screaming then yeah sure. |

Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
No it begins with sometimes I’ll see scenes and I’ll here characters talking in my head and I’ll see, and I’ll listen to what they’re trying to tell me. I know it sounds crazy but that’s how write as an artist I listen to what they’re doin and how they’re doin it and pretty soon the message comes clear in what they’re trying to reveal to me. |

Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
Awesome I have a million messages on my message board and I, I would guarantee you a good 30% of them are people are saying this did this for me or this helped me out of this situation. And Lila ? in uh Grand Rapids Michigan had lost her son in Black Hawk Down and really, she lost her son in the Gulf, in The Gulf War in Iraq and she sent me a letter backstage saying that Madea has helped her to be able to get over it and its those kind of moments you know, soldiers sitting around computers watching my videos laughing in Iraq, are you kidding me? Its those kinds of things that let me know I’m on the right track. |

Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
Yes, yes I have a role in Star Trek (talks) Yes its shot, it’s a small role, I’m there in the beginning and I’m there in the end and uh JJ Abrams called me up to do it and it was uh it was fantastic to be on someone else’s set and I cant wait to see it. I’m going to see it this week (Talks) Yeah I use that to learn, I use that to figure out how to be a director cause he’s a fantastic director but just the amount of time I spent there the week that I was there, it was only a week, it was really great. They shot for three months I was only there a week. |

Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
That is true is true, its too much, it’s the wig and the hair and the makeup and this, the fat suit, its all too much. But as long as people want to see it I’ll do it. (talks) yeah very rarely though because I try to shoot Madeas stuff out first and then I can get to the dramatic moments because I cant imagine having Derek Luke doing a dramatic scene and I’m standing there in that costume you know. |

Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
Yes I am, she came to work, she and Taraji. Taraji was in The Family that Preys and they’re both nominated in the same category, I know they both cant win but I’m very proud of both of them. |
| 04:14:32 211.13 |
Sound Bite: Tyler Perry
Yes, yes you see him reading the script because he’s a little lost in the scene but the improve, he’s so good at improve that we just went back and fourth, it was really great (talks) I would love for him to yeah. If Robin has anything to say about it yes he will. |
