More quotes by Eddie Murphy
Theres this little box that African-American actors have to work in, in the first place, and I was able to rise above that box. I could have done a bunch of movies where I stayed as the Axel Foley or Reggie Hammond persona. But I didnt want to be doing the same thing all the time. Every now and then, you crash and burn, but thats part of it.
Eddie Murphy
Whenever I am on camera or doing anything on mic, I don't have any process at all. I just do it and, when I'm finished, it goes away. There is no process. I wish there were some techniques to it. I just turn it on and off, and then I go home.
Eddie Murphy
I don't think more concentration is required for Robert De Niro to do what he does as for Jim Carrey to do what he does.
Eddie Murphy
Growing up, I liked all the stuff that everyone else was listening to, like Motown, but the biggest group of all was The Beatles.
Eddie Murphy
The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don't hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they're in a good mood.
Eddie Murphy
In a movie like this, the relationship between the two guys is crucial. It sinks or swims on how these two guys are together. I think we did a good job.
Eddie Murphy
I will blow your face clean off your face!

I can figure out which Spice Girl I wanna impregnate.

You know you can't just run and shoot people in the knee-caps with double barreled shotgun 'cause you're pissed at them.
Eddie Murphy
Making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.
Eddie Murphy
Every bad decision I've made has been based on money. I grew up in the projects and you don't turn down money there. You take it, because you never know when it's all going to end. I made Cop III because they offered me $15 million. That $15 million was worth having Roger Ebert's thumb up my ass.
Eddie Murphy
Are you driving with your eyes open? Or are you, like, using the force?
Eddie Murphy
I'm relaxed about my career. I've been making movies for over 20 years, so I've earned at least the right to relax.
Eddie Murphy
That's my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you'd see pictures all over of Elvis. He's just the greatest entertainer that ever lived.
Eddie Murphy
I ain't never been in no cell that had a phone in it. Can I stay for a while? I ordered some pizza.
Eddie Murphy
After all these years, I've done well and I'm cool. I feel comfortable in my skin, I've saved some paper, everybody's healthy, my kids are beautiful and smart, doing different things, it's all good.
Eddie Murphy
I don't think there's ever been someone with as much presence as Elvis Presley, I mean if he walked into a room I think everyone would be looking at only him. Even when he was dying and through all that when you looked at him it seemed all put together. It fascinates me.
Eddie Murphy
How can music without any words make you think? I listen to jazz when I'm doing something else. I use it for background music, I don't just sit down and concentrate on it. Lyrics, words - that's what makes me think.
Eddie Murphy
I want a woman who can arouse my intellect as well as my loins.
Eddie Murphy
Is it just me, or does every woman in New York have a severe emotional problem?
