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

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

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

My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.

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

I was good at keeping my mother from crying.

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.

Bernie Mac is happy.

Bernie Mac is talented!

I've been in training for stardom.

I want to speak directly to the audience, to say, 'I'm like you - I'm frustrated, I'm not an expert, I don't have a manual on parenting, I make mistakes, I'm selfish too.'

I can't build myself by beating somebody down.

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

We're so politically correct; we take things so seriously.

The one thing about comedy, making it become a part of you, the audience loves it, because you become part of them.

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

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

Comedy has been so good to me.

I was a street performer for two years.

I think a lot of TV insults the audience.

You're never going to see me playing a buffoon.

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

I'm a big fan of TV.

People like rumors. They're going to say things like, 'You was at the club with Lil' Kim, and you and Kanye West got into a fist fight.' You can't get upset. You've got to keep hope alive.
