I’m a comedian who got into movies, so I don’t really think of myself as an actor.
Eddie Murphy
Image
All inspiration comes from a higher power. The body is a shell. The creative spot is from God - You hear voices, everybody does. When you get older, you refer to it as intuition.

I want a woman who can arouse my intellect as well as my loins.
Eddie Murphy
Image
Is it just me, or does every woman in New York have a severe emotional problem?
Eddie Murphy
Image
I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.

This is how you answer a door in my neighborhood. WHO IS IT?

I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty.

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.

The other day I got out the shower and I bend down to reach for a towel, and I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Shot through my chest and up around my shoulder and down my spine. I thought 'Oh, Lord.' I thought I was dying. I bent over and looked, and I was standing on my own titty.

I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.

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.

You can't let the good things people say make you feel too good, because you're going to let the bad things make you feel bad.

I ain't never been in no cell that had a phone in it. Can I stay for a while? I ordered some pizza.

My wife ain't gonna make love to me if I got no money!
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.

If I don't die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
