When you're in the spotlight, people want to dissect you and then put you back together the way they want you.
I mellowed out; my daughter mellowed me out, and I don't get mad at anyone.
I'm not getting any younger. You're not getting any younger, so yeah. You age.
Most creative thing I've ever done? Got somebody pregnant.
I remember when I was on 'Saturday Night Live' my first year, and I wasn't getting much. I was down; I was ready to quit.
The paparazzi do what they do, man. They have a job, too.
Some people believe everything they see on TV. People, it's called tel-lie-vision!
Growing up in the ghetto is pretty hard. It's poverty; it's frustration.
Tracy Morgan is subdued. I'm cool. I'm chilled out.
I don't even deal with politics. I just don't believe in them. I think politics are politricks. My whole thing is power to the people. I don't put my faith in any one man. I keep my faith in God. That's where I keep my faith.
I'm not really struggling about my career. The struggles are in my personal life. I can't really pinpoint how long it took me to get where I'm at, and I didn't care how long it was going to take, because it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
I want to let my fans know I love them and I'm coming your way and I'm bringing truckloads of funny.
The things I did on Saturday Night Live are going to stay as Saturday Night Live. You've never seen Eddie Murphy do a Gumby movie. There's a lot more new material inside of me.
My sense of humor was a tool for me getting past my mother and father separating, my older brother having cerebral palsy, and the bullies in the schoolyard. I had to make them laugh to keep them off my ass. I brought that to my professional career.
