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.

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 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
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
My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.
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
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
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 have to meet all of the challenges, big and small. Because how you start is how you finish.
