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

Bernie Mac don't sugarcoat.

The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of.

You know, every time it comes, every time that light comes on or every time that camera comes on, every time that microphone comes on, the Mac Man seek and destroy.

If I can tell someone a story that makes them bend over and laugh, that's bigger than anything else.

My name is Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, but people know me as Bernie Mac. My mama, God rest her soul - she used to call me Beanie. Used to say, 'Don't you worry about Beanie. Beanie gonna be just fine. Beanie gonna surprise everyone.'
