“You don't see me in Los Angeles a lot. I go back home. Because I can't play the game. I can't - my tolerance - I know I'm getting old I'll be 50 this year. And you know how I know I'm getting old? 'Cause my tolerance level is low. ”
Bernie Mac“I learned hard lessons in life; I had to because I had so much happen: My mother died my sophomore year in high school. The next year, same day, my brother dropped dead. Two years after that, I got married because my girlfriend got pregnant. The year after my wedding, my father - who I had only recently met - died.”
Bernie Mac“You don't see me in Los Angeles a lot. I go back home. Because I can't play the game. I can't - my tolerance - I know I'm getting old I'll be 50 this year. And you know how I know I'm getting old? 'Cause my tolerance level is low. ”
Bernie Mac“There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.”
Bernie Mac“Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.”
Bernie Mac“When I get a chance to play golf or go on a boat with good people, take the boat out and put some lobsters on the grill, get the ice-cold beer and the cigars - that's heaven here on earth.”
Bernie Mac“You know you poor when you eatin' breakfast food late. You fryin' toast? At nine o'clock at night? With bacon? You're broke.”
Bernie Mac“I hate to let people down. I was like that in sports and I was like that in comedy. I was like that at work. When I worked General Motors and stuff like that, when I say something, I mean it.”
Bernie Mac“I've always been a reserved cat. When I play sports, there's people used to get mad at me because I didn't hang out and things like that. I've never been that kind of person. Nothing has changed in that regard. I've never been posse, and all that. I'm a quiet storm.”
Bernie Mac“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.'”
Bernie Mac“My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense.”
