More quotes by Bernie Mac

I'm looking for laughs, you know? If it take me to flip over a table, if I have to go physical comedy, I will do it. But whatever the joke needs at that particular time, is where I'm dedicated to. I'm not into beating somebody down and beating myself up. I don't do insults and things like that. I don't do it - I'm a storyteller.

I love who I am. I love what I've become.
Bernie Mac
Making people laugh is what I've been doing since I was like four or five years old. I still have a lust, I still have a passion. I don't care about how I look, I'm dedicated to the laughs.
Bernie Mac
I've been in training for stardom.
Bernie Mac
I'm not a politician, I'm a comedian. I know my limitations.
Bernie Mac
I became the storyteller of South Side Chicago. I used an old Kiwi liquid shoe polish as a microphone. I'd go around the house interviewing everybody, telling stupid jokes, doing voices. I mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., people on 'Laugh-In,' Flip Wilson.
Bernie Mac
Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.
Bernie Mac
The two sides of Bernie - that's a quiet weapon that I have.
Bernie Mac
If you mess something up, remember who got you there. Don't be pointing fingers, even if finger-pointing is called for. Only one you got to blame is your own self.
Bernie Mac
I ain't running for office. I ain't running for nothing.
Bernie Mac
I'm not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.
Bernie Mac
The Bernie Mac Show' is my life. It's the truth, and I'm not ashamed of a minute, an hour, or a second of my life.

Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.
