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.

More quotes by 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
You know, every time it comes, every time that light comes on or every time that camera comes on, every time that microphone comes on, the Mac Man seek and destroy.
Bernie Mac
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.
Bernie Mac
My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.
Bernie Mac
Suffering is a good teacher. It keeps you in its grip until you've learned your lesson.
Bernie Mac
I can act. I've been acting for a long time, but like anything else, don't nobody owe you nothing. You've go to pay your dues. You go from A to Z you don't go from M to Z.
Bernie Mac
Fear is not one of my attributes.
Bernie Mac
When I get a chance to play golf or go on a boat with good people, take the boat out and put some lobsters on the grill, get the ice-cold beer and the cigars - that's heaven here on earth.
Bernie Mac
My family are police officers, detectives. My brother Mitch is FBI. Mitch is like that - a stern enforcer.
Bernie Mac
It was rough being dark. I got heat from my own people more than anyone else. I remember going to my mom and saying, 'Why am I so black?' And she said, 'Because I'm black. You just gotta always work harder than the average bear.'
Bernie Mac
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
Bernie Mac
Whatever you hear at the barber shop, stays at the barber shop.
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
They say if you don't have your health you ain't got nothing, but the truth is you ain't got nothing if you don't have no one to worry about your health.
Bernie Mac
You're never going to see me playing a buffoon.
Bernie Mac
I have so much respect for what's funny.
Bernie Mac
I've been in training for stardom.
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.
Bernie Mac
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.
