Bernie Mac
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.

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
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 a star, and I don't want to be a star. Stars fall. I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
Bernie Mac
You're never going to see me playing a buffoon.
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
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
The one thing about comedy, making it become a part of you, the audience loves it, because you become part of them.
Bernie Mac
The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of.
Bernie Mac
I love who I am. I love what I've become.
