More quotes by 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
My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.
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
Whatever you hear at the barber shop, stays at the barber shop.
Bernie Mac
Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success.
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
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
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
The two sides of Bernie - that's a quiet weapon that I have.
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
When it comes to raising children, I believe in give and take. I give orders and they take 'em.
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
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
Stand-up is what I am stand-up is what made me.
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
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 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 don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
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
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
