More quotes by Tracy Morgan
Michael's the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it's Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.
Tracy Morgan
Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. This is my only girl. So I don't care what it takes to protect her. You can call it what you want to call it. As long as you treat her the same way I treat her, like my princess, I don't mind.
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 do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.
Tracy Morgan
In my heart, I really don't care who you love, same sex or not as long as you have the ability to love, that's the important thing here.
Tracy Morgan
Life smacks Tracy Morgan in the face, and I don't mean to talk in third party, but no, it doesn't stop raining when I come outside, no, absolutely not. I'm very in touch.
Tracy Morgan
Listen, Bruce Lee fought out of anger. That’s why they call it the Fists of Fury. Michael Jackson danced with fury. I do stand up out of fury. I’m not mad at anybody. I’m not mad at any human being because I’m a human being.
Tracy Morgan
Live every week like it's shark week.
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
I just want to be funny, I just want to do comedy.
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
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.
Tracy Morgan
I don't take any relationships for granted and I won't ever again. I just enjoy life.
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 don't like doing stand-up for little kids. It's not geared for that.
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
Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations a way to survive another day.
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
As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.
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.
