I just see myself as a short, dumpy guy with bad feet, and I'm passionate.

Martin Lawrence is one of my comedic heroes, and he's a genius.

Stand-up is mine. It's a part of me.

The truth is if I had a gay son, I would love him just as much as if he was straight… I might have to try to love even more because I know of the difficulty that he would have in society.

My life growing up was a twisted Bronx version of The Color Purple. It had a much different soundtrack and no trees, but that desperation was the same.

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.

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.
