More quotes by 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've lived a little bit and traveled the world and experienced a lot of things that I can play any role, and I think I can get into stuff that people never thought I would ever do because of my experiences and growth as a person.
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
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
Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
Chris Tucker
I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.
Chris Tucker
I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.

It's crazy because people expect you to be funny all the time and every day is not a funny day. I go to funerals and people are like 'tell a joke' and 'say one of your lines in a movie.' It's a funeral, man!
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.

I couldn't imagine not having clean water.
Chris Tucker
When you're first starting out, you want to keep making good movies. When you're young and you're black, you do a bad movie and you're through.
Chris Tucker
Everybody goes through a lot of the same things, and I talk about those, and that's the key. You have to connect with your audience, and I might take them on a trip with me, tell them I went here and I went there and they'll go with me, you know, to hear the stories.
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 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.
Chris Tucker
You see people waving. You dont see people having problems, with each other at least.
Chris Tucker
I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.
Chris Tucker
My mom raised me to never have anything control me.
Chris Tucker
I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.
Chris Tucker
That’s the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes!
Chris Tucker
Georgia was a great place to live, but I wanted to get out because I knew the opportunities for what I was doing - stand-up comedy and eventually acting - were in Los Angeles.
