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.
Saturday Night Live' was like a university for funny.
If you can survive 'Saturday Night Live,' then you're good as far as show business is concerned.
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.
I like to do stand-up for people who live real life.
Bones heal, but the loss of my friend will never heal,
My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.
I don't like doing stand-up for little kids. It's not geared for that.
I'm around my kids every day. I'm regular. We're a regular family. My wife cooks, she washes clothes, I read books, I pump my own gas, I get my own hair cut.
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 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.
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.
People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.
To me, politics is a pile of tricks.
