lifetime.”

@CLARK_ROSLYN:

“Your life is not the

product of your circumstances; it’s a product of your decisions. This man

proves it.”

JONELLE (JOEY) BALL:

“If Tyler Perry’s story is not motivation, I do not know

what is.”

“He greenlights his own projects and signs his own checks. That’s the

way to do it.”
