I don't have anything against Jimmy Fallon. I love Jimmy Fallon. He's my dude.
I remember when I was on 'Saturday Night Live' my first year, and I wasn't getting much. I was down; I was ready to quit.
Having a daughter makes you see things in a different way. You have to see how you're carrying yourself because there's a little girl. There's not a little boy, there's a little girl. I think I'm a little more overprotective.
Whenever I perform, people get me because I'm talking about things that people can identify with and relate to. I'm not just up there doing jokey, jokey, joke.
I've played outrageous characters my whole career.
My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.
There's nothing wrong with looking at a woman's kneecaps.
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.
As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.
My fans would love to see Brian Fellow come back. I love my fans. And they like my edge.
I have a heart. I want people to see me with their heart and not their eyes.
Whatever I did on 'Saturday Night Live' is going to stay and remain on 'Saturday Night Live.'
I guess I'm entertaining; I guess I'm interesting. I guess the things that I say sell papers. I guess they sell magazines. I don't know.
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. Trauma.
White women love me 'cause of my edge. And I love white women.
They say that every Jewish person is supposed to love one black person in his life. I'm glad Lorne Michaels chose me.
Michael's the ultimate entertainer. After Michael Jackson, it's Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and Bruce Lee.
Everybody's out to get something from somebody. 'Gold diggers' doesn't just mean money, it can mean time, it can mean feelings. It can mean anything when you're taking and not giving. When people don't know how to reciprocate.
Ladies are honest. They're my motivation. They know what's funny, and the dudes just follow.
I don't believe in storks. I know they don't deliver babies; they deliver pickles.
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.
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.
I believe gay, straight, anybody, everybody's supposed to be happy in this world, man.
I don't see myself as angry, although other people see that. I just see myself as a short, dumpy guy with bad feet, and I'm passionate.
The further you go, what, I'm gonna wait til I'm 80? Naw, I'm tellin' my story now. I was just moved. I was moved to tell my story. You know? People write books all the time.
I'm art. You're art. We are God's greatest works, simple as that.
I have friends who are black, white, purple, gay, straight, Martian, yellow, old, and young. I have friends who are animals and a few who I believe to be robots. All of them are people to me. In my mind, it's not about what you look like or what you do; it's about who you are inside.
Working with Bruce Willis makes my career authentic. I may not get an Oscar, but I worked with Bruce Willis. That matters more to me.
I'm a human being. I feel all emotions. I'm not just happy all the time. Sometimes, I'm sad and feel the blues. Sometimes I even want to feel the blues. Sometimes, you want to feel down.
People are just way too sensitive. You couldn't have a show like 'Archie Bunker' on TV. People would go crazy; they would lose their minds.
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.
Most creative thing I've ever done? Got somebody pregnant.
Most people don't know what's happening around them because they're just speeding through life. And before they know it, they're just old. So I just try to slow it down.
I was like any other inner-city kid with a chip on his shoulder because his daddy and his mommy wasn't together.
I know my spirit is not mean, and I have a very good spirit and a funny spirit.
If I had to describe my sense of humor, I would say it's contemporary wit, you know what I'm saying?
