More quotes by 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
I couldn't imagine not having clean water.
Chris Tucker
I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.
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
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 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 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
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 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
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 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
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
That’s the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes!
Chris Tucker
A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.
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
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
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
Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
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.
Chris Tucker
I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.
