More quotes by 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
My sense of humor was a tool for me getting past my mother and father separating, my older brother having cerebral palsy, and the bullies in the schoolyard. I had to make them laugh to keep them off my ass. I brought that to my professional career.
Tracy Morgan
I'm old, and so busy with work, that I like to just stay home and get my sleep now. I try not to burn both ends of the candle.
Tracy Morgan
I can't watch American Idol... it's like karaoke without the booze.
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 want to let my fans know I love them and I'm coming your way and I'm bringing truckloads of funny.
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
Michael's the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it's Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.
Tracy Morgan
I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others.
Tracy Morgan
I like to do stand-up for people who live real life.
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.
Tracy Morgan
I love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.
Tracy Morgan
I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.
Tracy Morgan
I love 30 Rock because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.
Tracy Morgan
Live every week like it's shark week.
Tracy Morgan
I'm not really struggling about my career. The struggles are in my personal life. I can't really pinpoint how long it took me to get where I'm at, and I didn't care how long it was going to take, because it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
Tracy Morgan
I don't like doing stand-up for little kids. It's not geared for that.
Tracy Morgan
Eddie [Murphy] is an icon. He's one of the reason why I started doing comedy in the beginning. He opened a lot of doors for black people.
Tracy Morgan
The truth is if I had a gay son, I would love him just as much as if he was straight… I might have to try to love even more because I know of the difficulty that he would have in society.
Tracy Morgan
I give [Barack Obama] a 10 [on a scale of 1 to 10] because he's not God, and he inherited a couple of wars, and a financial mess.I want to see him curse somebody out on TV. You can't finesse a bull. He's gotta throw down. He's in the shark tank.
