Bernie Mac don't sugarcoat.

I can act. I've been acting for a long time, but like anything else, don't nobody owe you nothing. You've go to pay your dues. You go from A to Z; you don't go from M to Z.

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.

I ain't running for office. I ain't running for nothing.

The two sides of Bernie - that's a quiet weapon that I have.

Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.

That's the whole key to anything: Don't be afraid to fail. And is not afraid to fail.
