“I don't think the people wanna see me play Clyde Johnson the architect...” — Bernie Mac Quote

I don't think the people wanna see me play Clyde Johnson the architect.

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.

Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.

Why do people love Richard Pryor so much? 'Cause he had problems.

I had said bye-bye to acting, in a way, but once an actor, always an actor. Life has got other plans for me. Like, I did not want to be an actor - I wanted to be an architect or astronaut - and 'Daddy' happened, and the rest is history.

From when I was about seven, I thought I wanted to be an architect. I've always loved spaces and dwellings in general.
