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.

More quotes by Chris Tucker
I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.
Chris Tucker
You see people waving. You dont see people having problems, with each other at least.
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 wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words.
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
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.

I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.
Chris Tucker
I couldn't imagine not having clean water.
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 am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.
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
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
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 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
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 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
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
A lot of directors, they're creative, but they're different.
Chris Tucker
That’s the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes!
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.
