Tracy Morgan's opens up about car crash

Tracy Morgan says his life will never be the same after a near-fatal car crash in June 2014 -- and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

In an interview with Complex, the "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" funnyman opened up on life after the collision, which killed longtime friend and comedian James McNair and left Morgan in a coma for two weeks.

"You're never going to be normal after you go through something like that. You don't die for a few weeks and then come back to normal, trust me," he said. "Something's going to be missing, something's going to be gained -- you just got to live your life after that. But after surviving something like that, I'm probably never going to feel normal."

Morgan said he "went to the other side" while he was in his coma and learned that his time on Earth was not quite up.

"This is not something I'm making up," Morgan said. "Do you know what God said to me? He said, 'Your room ain't ready. I still got something for you to do.' And here I am, doing an interview with you."

Morgan said he's taking life one day at a time -- "just living my life" -- with no big plans beyond a stint as Foot Locker's latest spokesman and a 2016 tour.

Morgan returned to "Saturday Night Live" as host in October, an experience he described as "special."

"There was so much goodwill and I felt that energy, like, 'Yo, we happy you alive!' It wasn't like they were looking for laughter, no. 'We just happy you alive and you're here walking,' " he said.

"And that made it special for me. I just want to give it back through my sense of humor."

Funny I would of thought God would of said "next time wear a damn seat belt".

Seriously though, I was brought up in a way where if you put me in a car it is AUTOMATIC that I put my seat belt on. I've never ridden in a limo, do they not have seat belts? Are they like buses? Are the seat belts super complicated to operate? I feel extremely uncomfortable riding in any vehicle without a seatbelt on.

Of course I'm not trying to absolve the guy who caused the accident of anything. Nobody forced him to not sleep for 28 hours, the truck company didn't have a pistol to his head the entire time.

Anyone driving my truck would have to wear a seat belt. If not, the buzzer will drive you insane until you put it on.

Seem to be a lot of people who still don't buckle up. Not my thing to take that kind of risk.

Exactly and my thing is I don't care if a crash isn't your fault..seat belts can minimize or even negate injuries if you wear them. So a crash might not be your fault, but the failure to take proper safety precautions is indeed on the passengers. It's like riding a bike without a helmet, just stupid.

So I find it hard to sympathize with anyone who flat out had an easy safety precaution they chose to ignore because..reasons. Then I wonder..does this person have kids? Do they teach the kids to wear seat belts? It shouldn't even be a conscious choice it should be automatic.
