Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.

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 see knowledge of self. I know who I am. When I look in the mirror, I see me.

Every person has contributed to me as a human, but a lot of the characters I do are ones I created.

Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.

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'm very giving. Even if it's for nonsense, I'll give it to you.
