Shut up before I drop yo ass off at Koreatown. Now hold on, America, don't start writing no letters. I'm just kidding. But am I lying?
I've never been no superficial cat.
Stand-up is what I am; stand-up is what made me.
When I go onstage, I want to relieve your mind, your pressures.
Comedy has been so good to me.
When it comes to raising children, I believe in give and take. I give orders and they take 'em.
I don't think the people wanna see me play Clyde Johnson the architect.
Bernie Mac is relentless. That's one thing I like about him. He's not PC. He doesn't care what you think. He's going out there to please that audience.
There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.
That's the whole key to anything: Don't be afraid to fail. And Bernie Mac is not afraid to fail.
My name is Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, but people know me as Bernie Mac. My mama, God rest her soul - she used to call me Beanie. Used to say, 'Don't you worry about Beanie. Beanie gonna be just fine. Beanie gonna surprise everyone.'
Whatever you hear at the barber shop, stays at the barber shop.
I'm not afraid to fail. Sometimes when you lose, you win. Sometimes when you win, you lose.
Hugs aren't like pieces of pie. Plenty of hugs to go around.
