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.

More quotes by Bernie Mac
I'm not a star, I hate that word, and I'm an entertainer. Stars fall, you know, I'm an entertainer. I want to be known as an entertainer.
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
As I got older, I got into all kinds of things in the streets - but for some reason, I never got caught up with the gangs growing up. Everybody dug me, man. I never had problems.
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 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 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 don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
Bernie Mac

Bernie Mac
The two sides of Bernie - that's a quiet weapon that I have.
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
The one thing about comedy, making it become a part of you, the audience loves it, because you become part of them.
Bernie Mac
Suffering is a good teacher. It keeps you in its grip until you've learned your lesson.
Bernie Mac
You're never going to see me playing a buffoon.
Bernie Mac
When it comes to raising children, I believe in give and take. I give orders and they take 'em.
Bernie Mac
I'm not a star, and I don't want to be a star. Stars fall. I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
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
Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.
Bernie Mac
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.
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.
