More quotes by Bernie Mac

Bernie Mac
I've been in training for stardom.
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
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
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.

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'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
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
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
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.
Bernie Mac
I'm not a politician, I'm a comedian. I know my limitations.
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 love who I am. I love what I've become.
Bernie Mac
Why I was so intrigued with Red Skelton was because he was able to make you cry and laugh and the same time. That was power.
Bernie Mac
Stand-up is what I am stand-up is what made me.
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 not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.
