More quotes by Tracy Morgan
Bad news travels at the speed of light good news travels like molasses.
Tracy Morgan
You can't hold me to the same standard as the president or a school teacher. I'm just a comedian. My job is like Archie Bunker.
Tracy Morgan
I don't like doing stand-up for little kids. It's not geared for that.
Tracy Morgan
I love my mother. My mother made sure, her stubbornness - she made sure we was going to eat. She made sure we had Christmases. That was my mother. My father wasn't there for that.
Tracy Morgan
I love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.
Tracy Morgan
Stand-up is really personal. It's not like somebody else is writing the script and you have to do what they write.
Tracy Morgan
I don't really take the college tours and all that. Those are young people and I'm quite sure they're mature enough to understand, but they haven't seen or lived real life yet.
Tracy Morgan
I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.
Tracy Morgan
A stand-up's job is to hold the mirror up to society and to look at what we're afraid of. That's why we had shows like 'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons.' We made fun of ourselves then.
Tracy Morgan
Sometimes I think we're exposed to things we shouldn't be exposed to too early. I think that sets the tone to a person's whole life.
Tracy Morgan
I think the word 'pregnant' is funny.
Tracy Morgan
My father was the role model I looked up to. My dad was an entertainer, too. I patterned my life after him. He wanted me to do better than he did. He never sold a record in his life, but to me he was still a rock star.
Tracy Morgan
When I'm in the mood to listen to music, I do like to go to the SkyBar [ L.A.].
Tracy Morgan
When I was a young kid, my pops introduced me to it. He took me to Harlem, 145th and Edgecombe, to watch the filming of Claudine with James Earl Jones and Diahann Carroll. That was my first taste of seeing a set and the cameras, and I was bit by the acting bug at a young age.
Tracy Morgan
Bones heal, but the loss of my friend will never heal.
Tracy Morgan
I don't need no stool and mike stand. I don't need all of that to be funny. I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me. I spread love wherever I'm at. I'm like Marvin Gaye.
Tracy Morgan
I don't take any relationships for granted and I won't ever again. I just enjoy life.
Tracy Morgan
Young stand-ups, we ought to do comedy in George Carlin's spirit, in Richard Pryor's spirit, in Jackie Gleason's spirit, in Lucille Ball's spirit, because they did it with the spirit.
Tracy Morgan
The truth is, I've never thought of myself as the Michael Jordan of comedy. And that's a good thing. You know why? Because I'm not. Wasn't that Richard Pryor? Yes, it was. I know what I am: I'm funny!
Tracy Morgan
I never wanted the ha-ha-ha laughter [at my shows]. I always aimed for the gut. I always aimed for the pretty girls in the front row, laughing and leaning over and pooting.
