More quotes by Tracy Morgan
I like to do stand-up for people who live real life.
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'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
My father said: If you want to catch your girl cheating, you knock on the front door and run to the back, because he's coming out the back.
Tracy Morgan
I would love to try action films.
Tracy Morgan
I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.
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 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 think the word 'pregnant' is funny.
Tracy Morgan
Bad news travels at the speed of light good news travels like molasses.
Tracy Morgan
I don't like doing stand-up for little kids. It's not geared for that.
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
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
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
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've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.
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
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
