Candid reflections from the star.

Tyler Perry, the entertainment mogul behind Madea, opens up about the difficulty of maintaining healthy relationships -- and finding Mrs. Right -- under the bright lights of fame.

"…Relationships are tough. Then you add fame and money on top of that. Then people and tabloids and gossip and blogs -- put all of that stuff on top -- it's tough," Tyler tells Essence magazine.
