More quotes by Chris Tucker
I think all the knowledge and all the travels that I've done, I'm going to do a lot of great work in the future.
Chris Tucker
I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.
Chris Tucker
I get on stage and talk about different stuff in my life and what I've been through and what I think about the world. It's picking out highlights of things and how I became who I am and how my daddy raised me.
Chris Tucker
I want to keep working, I want to keep doing my humanitarian stuff around the world, shining light on different places that have problems. Keep making movies, make people laugh.
Chris Tucker
I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.
Chris Tucker
One thing about me, when I make a decision about something, I realize when you make choices in life, that dictates your life.
Chris Tucker
That’s the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes!

I reenact everything. I love to paint a picture for my audience. I'm a lot like Richard Pryor in that aspect. I do a lot of acting on stage, acting out and visualizing stuff. I love to do that. I'm into it so much, it just comes out of me.
Chris Tucker
You loan your friend money. You see them again, they don't say nothin' 'bout the money. 'Hi, how ya doin'? How's ya mama doing?' Man, how's my money doin'?
Chris Tucker
Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
Chris Tucker
I want to do movies that mean something, that make people laugh and cry great movies, period-piece movies and work with the best people out there, who bring the best out of me.
Chris Tucker
I told a joke and people laughed and it was the best feeling. I knew I wanted to do this as a career. I never knew I could get such a high from telling a joke. There's something so extraordinary about having people listening to you and hanging onto your words - it's a great feeling.
Chris Tucker
Comedy comes from a place of hurt. Charlie Chaplin was starving and broke in London, and that's where he got his character 'the tramp' from. It's a bad situation that he transformed into comedic one.
Chris Tucker
I feel like every time I go out I want to do a good job. I want people to say that he's just as good at stand-up as he is in some of the movies I've seen him in, so I try to do the best every time I go out there.
Chris Tucker
You see people waving. You dont see people having problems, with each other at least.
Chris Tucker
I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.
Chris Tucker
A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.
Chris Tucker
In stand-up you can go either way. It's live. Somebody might say something in the crowd, you might respond to it. But in a movie you could be spontaneous too. But you pretty much have to stick to that story or that scene or that script, but in stand-up you can go wherever you want to. It's more freedom.
Chris Tucker
I tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.
Chris Tucker
I love to talk about people I've met being an entertainer. All my encounters in life - I roll it all into an hour and 30 minutes.
