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.

More quotes by Tracy Morgan
If you don't laugh, you're going to cry and people are crying. That's why I guess you have lots of people like comedians to keep us laughing.
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
Bad news travels at the speed of light good news travels like molasses.
Tracy Morgan
Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations a way to survive another day.

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
I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, and I consider myself lucky and blessed to be where I am - just working.
Tracy Morgan
I don't take any relationships for granted and I won't ever again. I just enjoy life.
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 love 30 Rock because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.
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
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
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
Michael's the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it's Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.
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.
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.
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
I can't watch American Idol... it's like karaoke without the booze.
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
If you can survive 'Saturday Night Live,' then you're good as far as show business is concerned.
