Bernie Mac just says what you think but are afraid to say.

I came from a place where there wasn't a lot of joy.

You know you poor when you eatin' breakfast food late. You fryin' toast? At nine o'clock at night? With bacon? You're broke.

When you're offstage, that's the footprint. That's the man God's gonna judge.

I'm not a star, I hate that word, and I'm an entertainer. Stars fall, you know, I'm an entertainer. I want to be known as an entertainer.

When it comes to raising children, I believe in give and take. I give orders and they take 'em.

It took me a long time to get to where I'm at, in my career and as a man. I was going through my trials and tribulations in life, and it gave me the strength to tackle things that have come my way.
