More quotes by 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
Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.
Bernie Mac
I've been in training for stardom.
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
Only way you can you get upset is when you expecting something.

Bernie Mac
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
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
My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.
Bernie Mac
I learned hard lessons in life I had to because I had so much happen: My mother died my sophomore year in high school. The next year, same day, my brother dropped dead. Two years after that, I got married because my girlfriend got pregnant. The year after my wedding, my father - who I had only recently met - died.
Bernie Mac
You can't change what happened. Just like you can't change the future by worrying about it. You just have to keep moving.
Bernie Mac
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.
Bernie Mac
I love who I am. I love what I've become.
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.
