Bernie Mac

"My humor had changed from foolishness to making sense."

"There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is."

"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."

"I want to have fun. Life ain't no dress rehearsal. I want to have fun. I'm a comedian; I ain't no politician. So everything I do is with humor, with love."
