It's just, people recognize you for your work, you know? They love you for your work, and they judge you for your work. It's awesome to have people quoting you. I love it.
— Tracy Morgan
What am I afraid of? The IRS. That's it. I don't want those people knockin' on my door, man.
I've been funny my whole life. This is a gift God gave me.
I deal with my sons like young men. If they have a problem with something, they come to me. I am the type of dad that will drop everything I am doing for them, and always tell them to talk to me about it.
Reality is the scary thing. Not my work, not comedy.
Stand-up don't get no respect - it's the hardest thing to do in show business. You don't have no band and there's no music.
I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.
And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.
I was like any other inner-city kid with a chip on his shoulder because his daddy and his mommy wasn't together.
I would love to try action films.
I'm a big, big movie fan. I watch 'The Ten Commandments' and the original 'Planet of the Apes' every night.
My sense of humor is a turkey, and I pull it out of the oven and baste it in reality.
What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.
I grew up in the projects in Brooklyn, and I consider myself lucky and blessed to be where I am - just working.
If I don't offend somebody, then I'm probably not funny.
I just want to be funny, I just want to do comedy.
I love '30 Rock' because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.
So I think all comedians are earning their wings into heaven. We're all going to heaven, but everybody's not going to get their wings. Some people are just going to be regular angels. Doing cleanup, janitor work. In heaven, I'm going to sit on the couch with Oprah.
Stand-up is my foundation. That's where it started at. And I love it because it's personal. It's mine. It's all me. It's my experience in life.
I spread love wherever I'm at. I'm like Marvin Gaye.
You will be surprised but I do a lot of studying and I watch National Geographic.
I have snakes, three sharks, moray eels, piranhas, five scorpions and a bird spider. All of them are predators. They are dangerous but it's cool to have strong and powerful pets.
Comedy clubs are sacred ground. That's where anything goes.
Martin Lawrence is one of my comedic heroes, and he's a genius.
I don't have anything against Jimmy Fallon. I love Jimmy Fallon. He's my dude.
'Saturday Night Live' was like a university for funny.
You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.
