Tyler Perry appeared at the Produced By conference on Sunday, May 31, to discuss black media in Hollywood and his road to success.

Deadline reports that "Selma" director Ava DuVernay was the moderator for Perry's candid discussion, which took place on the Paramount lot at the Sherry Lansing theatre as part of the two-day PGA confab.

When asked to share his experience with racism in Hollywood, Perry revealed that he has never experienced it. Instead, Perry claims to have experienced classism from critics who couldn't relate to his films and plays, BET reports.

"I'm not the person to ask about racism in this town," Perry said. "I've never had to go through things others have to get things done.

"There's a certain class of people that I come from who know what I'm talking about, who get it. There's this other class who simply say, 'What is this sh*t?'"

For those who question and criticize Perry's filmmaking, he explained that his films and plays often look as though they are one act because as a child, he would sneak into various theaters during intermission and was only able to catch the second half of plays.

Despite the critics, Perry prides himself on the love he gets from fans all over the world.

Perry also noted the importance of branding and ownership all while throwing a slight jab at "Empire" creators Lee Daniels and Danny Strong, Deadline reports.

"In order to have the success with Empire you have to have Fox, you have to have huge P&A, you have to have huge budgets for the show," Perry said. "I'm pretty confident that the budget of Empire is six times what I'm spending on Have And Have Nots. For me all my thinking has always been own it, own it, own it."

In addition to fully "owning his work," Perry revealed that he intends to create an even bigger legacy for himself in addition to what he's already managed to accomplish.

"I just want to tell the stories of the people I know, I want to tell those kinds of stories," he said. "I don't want to leave this planet until I achieve everything that I was put here to do."
