Quote

I have Glocks, .45s, Berettas, Remingtons. I like the marksmanship and the discipline that it takes to be a gun owner. I like the machinery. Being able to take it out and clean it is even more fascinating than having the gun.

My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.

Suffering is a good teacher. It keeps you in its grip until you've learned your lesson.
Bernie Mac
Image
I want people to say at the end of my day, you know, like I used to say about Sidney Poitier and James Cagney and Joan Crawford and Red Skelton and those guys and Bill Cosby. They did quality and substance. You always remember them.

I've been in training for stardom.
Bernie Mac

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

I don't care about how I look I'm dedicated to the laughs. You know, I used to be a clown, so - my name was Smoothie the Clown. All the training I had, all my training is geared toward making people laugh, and I didn't care about being cool.

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.

Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.

The two sides of Bernie - that's a quiet weapon that I have.

I get facials. I get a manicure and pedicure every week. I get my hair cut, and I oil myself down from head to toe. I got that from my brother. I was so impressed with how high maintenance he was. When he left the room, you could still smell him for an hour.

Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.
Bernie Mac
Image
I have so much respect for what's funny.
Bernie Mac
Image
I'm an entertainer and I really enjoy entertaining. I think if you're going to really be what you say you are, you have to really live it, work it, practice it, and think it.
Bernie Mac
Image
I'm not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.

I ain't running for office. I ain't running for nothing.

Fear is not one of my attributes.

I hate to compare anything, especially while I'm promoting. I feel that's another disrespect, but 'Ocean's 13' is the best movie I've ever done in my life. No question.

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.

I'm very much disciplined because I'm more mature. When I was young I just wanted to live, I could jump, I could run, I was quick and I was relentless.
Bernie Mac
Image
Why I was so intrigued with Red Skelton was because he was able to make you cry and laugh and the same time. That was power.
