“The best thing that ever happened to me was being brought up hard. It’s kept me hungry, even though now I’ve got more than I ever thought I’d see in this lifetime. It doesn’t matter how much I accumulate — I’ll be starving for the rest of my life, that’s for damn sure. They say when opportunity knocks you should let it in and invite it to sit at your table. Fuck that — when opportunity knocks, you should take it captive. Beat that shit down. I’ve got opportunity tied to a chair in my basement with a ball gag in its mouth. Opportunity ain’t even thinking about leaving my house. If you keep quiet for a second, you’ll hear it whining.”

– Tracy Morgan in his new essay “The New Black
