My father was the role model I looked up. 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.

More quotes by 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 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
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 would love to try action films.
Tracy Morgan
I can't watch American Idol... it's like karaoke without the booze.
Tracy Morgan
I don't take any relationships for granted and I won't ever again. I just enjoy life.
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'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
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
Bad news travels at the speed of light good news travels like molasses.
Tracy Morgan
I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.
Tracy Morgan
I love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.
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
I don't even deal with politics. I just don't believe in them. I think politics are politricks. My whole thing is power to the people. I don't put my faith in any one man. I keep my faith in God. That's where I keep my faith.
Tracy Morgan
Reality is the scary thing. Not my work, not comedy.
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
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
Michael's the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it's Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.
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
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.
