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
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
I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.
Chris Tucker
I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.
Chris Tucker
I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.
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
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
You got to control your own destiny. You got to keep writin different stuff. Keep switchin up and never do the same thin too many times.
Chris Tucker
I couldn't imagine not having clean water.
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'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
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
Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.
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
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
A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.
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
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 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.
