“We all make mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up. But if
you must beat yourself up, don’t use a bat, be gentle, you’ll hurt yourself
with that bat. Lorne Michaels told me that one day. I felt really bad on
SNL
and I was beating myself up, and he started laughing. He grabbed me by my
shoulders and said that. And that’s why I love Lorne Michaels like I love my
daddy—because he let people do that, and I want to pass that onto others. Don’t
beat yourself up, we all make mistakes. You’re only human.” —Comedian/actor Tracy
Morgan, interviewed by Brady Langmann, “Tracy Morgan on Why Life Isn’t Always Funny,”
in “Sane Advice for Crazy Times: Esquire's 85th Anniversary Issue,” Esquire,
