Tyler Perry: Nelson Mandela 'made me want to be better'
During an interview with theGrio’s Chris Witherspoon Perry talked about his new film, A Madea’s Christmas, and discussed Mandela’s impact on his career.“As I look at his life at 95-years-old, I think that it’s all about a celebration,” Perry said. “To be 95-years-old, to spend twenty seven of those years in prison, and to come out and not be bitter and rise to be the president of South Africa is unbelievable. His life speaks to the hope and the possibility of anything being possible.”
