There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.
It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.
To me the kitchen is a place of adventure and entirely fun not drudgery. I can't think of anything better to do with family and friends than to be together to create something.
For me family always comes first I would do anything to protect them.
I went through a period of great rebellion within my family when I was about 9 or 10. I was mad I had no focus had no real interest in anything and so I started to do things that were just rebellious and stupid.
I don't have anything against my mom but my family has no emotional connection to each other.
Frankly I'm fairly boring or fairly busy. Between writing and family I have little time for anything else.
I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Everything in moderation. I know that's really hard for people to understand but I grew up in an Italian family where we didn't overdo anything. We ate pasta yes but not a lot of it.
The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else because no matter what you do you've got to come home.
I was one those kids who had books on them. Before weddings Bar Mitzvahs funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading my family would frisk me and take the book away. If they didn't find it by this point in the procedure I would be sitting over in that corner completely unnoticed just reading my book.
I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team too. They'd never seen anything like it.
If anything interferes with my inner peace I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.
In my particular instance I came from a family that didn't have anything. Everything I earned in life I made. Myself. With songs that I wrote.
I think the American Dream says that anything can happen if you work hard enough at it and are persistent and have some ability. The sky is the limit to what you can build and what can happen to you and your family.
People under the influence of cults is similar to that we observe in addicts. Typical behaviour for both includes draining bank accounts neglecting children destroying relations with family and losing interest in anything except the drug or cult.
I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life a man who had good friends fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that actually.
I come from that society and there is a common thread specifically family values - the idea that you do anything for your family and the unconditional love for one's children.
A few years ago you couldn't go from TV to film. It was like a 'no no' but I believe when you find a plan and purpose that God has for your life there's not anything man can do to you. Especially when your faith is not really standing in the wisdom of man you're really standing in the wisdom of God.
Well I affirm orthodox Christian faith. I affirm the Nicene Creed. I don't think I'm doing anything terribly new.
Most atheists bristle at the thought that atheism has anything to do with faith but not Penn Jillette.
Our religion does not discriminate according to color sex or anything else. What counts is piety and faith.
Tyler Perry's brand is faith family and this whole thing that I've built while my company 34th Street Films is like Disney's Touchstone. We can do anything. People don't know what to expect from me yet.
I guess my religious faith sustained me more than anything else. Family is also very important. If I didn't have children it would have been too difficult. Even if you are strong you still need people who would support you all the way.
My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.
