The Bernie Mac Show' Is My Life.

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.

You Have To Meet All Of The Challenges, Big And Small. Because How You Start Is How You Finish.

I'm So Black, I Leave Fingerprints On Coal.

I Became The Storyteller Of South Side Chicago. I Used An Old Kiwi Liquid Shoe Polish As A Microphone. I'd Go Around The House Interviewing Everybody, Telling Stupid Jokes, Doing Voices. I Mimicked Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis Jr., People On 'laugh-in,' Flip Wilson.
