Bernie Mac

I have so much respect for what's funny.

My grandmother always told me how you start is how you finish.

My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
