Zitat des Tages von Tracy Morgan:
I'm glad I dropped out of high school, man. I wouldn't be where I'm at. I would have had a net. I'm glad I didn't have anything to fall back on, man, because that made me go for my dreams that much harder.
I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.
I love '30 Rock' because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.
Of all the sicknesses, there is probably none more abusive than homophobia.
Some people believe everything they see on TV. People, it's called tel-lie-vision!
If we all had a little bit of Michael Jackson in us, I think it would make the world a better place.
I think it's good that I get scared because, if you never get scared, you don't have any need for guts.
Comedy clubs are sacred ground. That's where anything goes.
I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.
I'm not perfect, but I strive for it.
Reality is the scary thing. Not my work, not comedy.
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!
People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We're losing all of our communication skills.
I mellowed out; my daughter mellowed me out, and I don't get mad at anyone.
I don't get on the phone and prank people and things like that on the phone with people, no.
I love working with Alec Baldwin. He's one of the five greatest actors ever to live.
My heart is committed to giving everyone the same rights that I deserve for myself.
You gotta understand, my great-grandfather was German and Irish. My grandmother was Indian, and my grandfather was African-American, so we all got a little something in us.
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.
Who's coming with me? I don't know where I'm going, but who's coming with me?
For my first gig, I got $75. I could make money being funny, so I pursued it as a career and have turned it into a lucrative business.
I love animals, but I don't want to talk to them. I'd rather be able to talk to other people on other continents and understand them.
I'm no Jerry Seinfeld. I wasn't raised with some backyard with a creek and trees and all that.
People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.
The version of me you see on TV now and in my feature films is a pretty happy guy, isn't he?
There's nothing in the world like live entertainment. With TV, you have to wait for your results; with live entertainment, people let you know right then and there. That relationship is established in 30 seconds. The first 30 seconds, they'll let you know whether they like you or not.
I don't have a hateful bone in my body. I don't believe anyone should be bullied or made to feel bad about who they are.
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.
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.
Having boys is different. Boys, you put sneakers on, and they're out, they're ready. Girls, you gotta pay a little bit more attention to them.
I'm not a child star, but you could say that I've grown up on TV. I went from being an unknown, down-and-out comic from Brooklyn and the Bronx to being a regular character on a major network comedy called 'Martin.' From there I went on to become the most notable black comic on 'Saturday Night Live' since Eddie Murphy.
I don't even read the newspaper; I don't read that crap.
I'm a black man in America, so I'm going to be misunderstood.
And when I was angry, when I was younger, I was in a cocoon. Now I'm a beautiful, black butterfly.
Comedy should be easy, not laboured.
When you see me on the street, act like you know me.
