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!

More quotes by Tracy Morgan
I would love to try action films.
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
When a child is born, it's born with a heart of gold, but the way of this world can turn that heart cold. I'm still a good person, and I thank God for that - He's working with me on it.
Tracy Morgan
I can't watch American Idol... it's like karaoke without the booze.
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
Bones heal, but the loss of my friend will never heal.
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
If we all had a little bit of Michael Jackson in us, I think it would make the world a better place.
Tracy Morgan
I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, and I consider myself lucky and blessed to be where I am - just working.
Tracy Morgan
And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.
Tracy Morgan
I love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.
Tracy Morgan
Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations a way to survive another day.
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
Too many people focus on the thing, instead of the heavenly glory of it. I don't want to give away what to expect.
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
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
I'm not focused on the outrageousness. I'm just focused on being funny, and raising my kids. I don't even read the newspaper, I don't read that crap.
Tracy Morgan
Don't follow in my footsteps. Be original, and create your own path. Be a trailblazer! Do you! Be better than me. Do you! Be happy and have joy in your life.
Tracy Morgan
Everything I talk about in stand-up is my experiences as an American, as a father, as a husband, as a black man, as a human being.
