When I go onstage, I want to relieve your mind, your pressures.

You can't change what happened. Just like you can't change the future by worrying about it. You just have to keep moving.

I'm not ashamed to tell the truth about what happened in my family. I think that's what makes my comedy different.

The Bernie Mac Show' is my life. It's the truth, and I'm not ashamed of a minute, an hour, or a second of my life.

I love who I am. I love what I've become.

My grandmother always told me how you start is how you finish.

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