Zitat des Tages von Bernie Mac:
I can't build myself by beating somebody down.
I'm not a star, and I don't want to be a star. Stars fall. I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
Only way you can you get upset is when you expecting something.
That's the whole key to anything: Don't be afraid to fail. And Bernie Mac is not afraid to fail.
When you're offstage, that's the footprint. That's the man God's gonna judge.
My daughter was a beautiful child.
Why do people love Richard Pryor so much? 'Cause he had problems.
I always wanted to scuba dive. I used to scuba dive undercover like black Aquaman.
We're so politically correct; we take things so seriously.
I'm an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job.
Stand-up is what I am; stand-up is what made me.
I've never been no superficial cat.
People like rumors. They're going to say things like, 'You was at the club with Lil' Kim, and you and Kanye West got into a fist fight.' You can't get upset. You've got to keep hope alive.
You're never going to see me playing a buffoon.
I have so much respect for what's funny.
I'm looking for laughs, you know? If it take me to flip over a table, if I have to go physical comedy, I will do it. But whatever the joke needs at that particular time, is where I'm dedicated to. I'm not into beating somebody down and beating myself up. I don't do insults and things like that. I don't do it - I'm a storyteller.
My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.
I want to play a villain - I can't wait to play a villain.
I don't need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don't need any of that.
I've always been a reserved cat. When I play sports, there's people used to get mad at me because I didn't hang out and things like that. I've never been that kind of person. Nothing has changed in that regard. I've never been posse, and all that. I'm a quiet storm.
When I hit my 20s, I struggled to make it. I got married at 19, and my daughter, Je'Niece, was born a year later. I worked blue collar jobs during the day and comedy clubs at night, and I was earning about $25 a year doing stand-up.
I know doing movies is where I need to be. That's where my audience wants to see me.
Jerry Weintraub, the producer, might be a pain in the ass, but he really knows how to treat his actors.
I've been in training for stardom.
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
Comedy has been so good to me.
I'm funny. I'm a comedian. I'm not a clown.
I'm not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.
Every time you see a black romance, it's over-the-top. There always has to be extreme hostility between the sexes. He has to cheat. She has to show him how independently strong she is, not just as a woman but as a black woman.
When I get a chance to play golf or go on a boat with good people, take the boat out and put some lobsters on the grill, get the ice-cold beer and the cigars - that's heaven here on earth.
I hate to let people down. I was like that in sports and I was like that in comedy. I was like that at work. When I worked General Motors and stuff like that, when I say something, I mean it.
Bernie Mac is talented!
Bernie Mac just says what you think but are afraid to say.
I ain't running for office. I ain't running for nothing.
You know, every time it comes, every time that light comes on or every time that camera comes on, every time that microphone comes on, the Mac Man seek and destroy.
I love who I am. I love what I've become.
