I know doing movies is where I need to be. That's where my audience wants to see me.

I've been in training for stardom.

My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.

I don't care about how I look; I'm dedicated to the laughs. You know, I used to be a clown, so - my name was Smoothie the Clown. All the training I had, all my training is geared toward making people laugh, and I didn't care about being cool.

You can't be a doctor if you don't know the entire parts of the body.

I'm not a politician, I'm a comedian. I know my limitations.

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.
