Fear is not one of my attributes.
Whatever success I've had, I always like to top it.
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.'
That's the whole key to anything: Don't be afraid to fail. And Bernie Mac is not afraid to fail.
There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is.
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.
I don't think the people wanna see me play Clyde Johnson the architect.
Like a lot of black people, I grew up straight po'. Wasn't no question about whether we was po', either. If you really wanted to know, all you had to do was look in our refrigerator.
If you mess something up, remember who got you there. Don't be pointing fingers, even if finger-pointing is called for. Only one you got to blame is your own self.
