on the road with bernie mac
what should every visitor know about chicago?
"how sweet it is, how styling, how friendly. it's a small town in a
big city."
when you travel, what do you never leave home without?
"my heart."
okay, what physical things, like books
or clothes?
"i don't want to get philosophical on you, man, but my bible. i
always have a bible."
is there one passage you like to read while you're
traveling?
"no. as much as i try to read the bible, every time is like looking
at the godfather. i always see something i've never seen or
i didn't catch. i always find something, no matter how many times i
read it, you know? something that's in there that hits me a
different way."
