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.
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.
What am I afraid of? The IRS. That's it. I don't want those people knockin' on my door, man.
I have a heart. I want people to see me with their heart and not their eyes.
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.
I don't get on the phone and prank people and things like that on the phone with people, no.
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.
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 love being around people who love to do what I love to do, which is comedy.
I love Ice Cube and Charlie Day. They're brilliant men, great actors and very funny people.
Let's focus on the funny. ... That's what I'm focused on... This is the gift God gave me. That's what I want to touch in people.
If you don't laugh, you're going to cry and people are crying. That's why I guess you have lots of people like comedians to keep us laughing.
Make your judgments and then you don't have to worry about it. You're always going to have those people who are offended about every little thing.
Because Eddie [Murphy] came from where I come from, the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. People in the projects used to call me Fat Murphy.
I think people would want to see Tracy Morgan host 'Saturday Night Live.'
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.
Too many people focus on the thing, instead of the heavenly glory of it. I don't want to give away what to expect.
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.
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.
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.
My voice is very distinct. People hear Tracy Morgan's voice, and they know Tracy Morgan right off the bat because I've been in their homes for so many years.
Black people dance well because we start early - there's music being played everywhere. White people? They don't start dancing until they get to college, and by then, it's too late; the bottom don't move with the top no matter how hard they try.
Where I came from, people couldn't afford to go to the theatre.
When you're in the spotlight, people want to dissect you and then put you back together the way they want you.
It gets scary when you're dealing with people who don't know how to separate fact from fiction.
I have a pretty diverse audience, and that makes me happy - laughter is universal, and I don't differentiate between people at all. Why should I? People are people. There's no reason why one person can't relate to any other person on this planet in some way or another.
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.
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.
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.
Some people believe everything they see on TV. People, it's called tel-lie-vision!
I touch on sex in my stand-up and it's funny, because when I talk about sex from an adult point of view, people cringe. But if I talk about war or killing, people laugh. So it's sick. It's really demented.
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.
I like to do stand-up for people who live real life.
People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.
What am I afraid of? The IRS. Thats it. I dont want those people knockin on my door, man.
People walked out on Richard Pryor and he's the funniest man alive.
Eddie [Murphy] is an icon. He's one of the reason why I started doing comedy in the beginning. He opened a lot of doors for black people.
I can make people laugh at the drop of a dime. God's given me that ability.
Rock bottom for some people is death. Some people never learn from their mistakes. They don't learn from other people's mistakes.
I know how people are. We fixate on controversy and all that.
