More quotes by Bernie Mac
I'm not a politician, I'm a comedian. I know my limitations.
Bernie Mac
It took me a long time to get to where I'm at, in my career and as a man. I was going through my trials and tribulations in life, and it gave me the strength to tackle things that have come my way.
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 love who I am. I love what I've become.
Bernie Mac
When I hit my 20s, I struggled to make it. I got married at 19, and my daughter, Je'Niece, was born a year later. I worked blue collar jobs during the day and comedy clubs at night, and I was earning about $25 a year doing stand-up.

I don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
Bernie Mac
I don't ever watch myself. By watching, you try to perfect yourself, become a robot.
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
Fear is not one of my attributes.
Bernie Mac
My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.
Bernie Mac
Suffering is a good teacher. It keeps you in its grip until you've learned your lesson.
Bernie Mac
When it comes to raising children, I believe in give and take. I give orders and they take 'em.
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
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
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.
Bernie Mac
I've been in training for stardom.
Bernie Mac
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
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
You can't change what happened. Just like you can't change the future by worrying about it. You just have to keep moving.
