american-comedian work
You know, 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.
bust finish hope stuff
There was a lot of stuff where we were doing scenes, and (we would) bust out laughing, ... more on this movie than ever, where you can't finish scenes. I hope we didn't (mess up) up the movie.
girl party wants
My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time...
dollar far stretch
Right now, we've got to stretch that dollar as far as we can.
love nick scene turn turned
That's a new thing for me, to have my costar in a scene turn to me and tell me they love me. In "48 HRS.", Nick Nolte never turned to me and went "I love you Ed"!
help months prepared rent six
We need to be prepared to help with their rent and utilities for six months to a year, ... We don't want them working right now.
comedy leading music stuff
Ultimately, when I go back to the stage, I want to be able to do everything. I want to be able to do music and comedy and all that stuff; that's what all this stuff is leading to.
blow faces clean
I will blow your face clean off your face!
thumbs-up decision roger
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.
artist long performing
If you're an artist like a really, really long time, it stops being a performance. I'm not performing anymore. I reveal myself to the audience. I show you some of me. It's not a show no more.
pain dying towels
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.
writing taste were-not-meant-to-be
Anything you have to acquire a taste for was not meant to be eaten.
thinking idols giving
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. And I think it's because he had such presence. When Elvis walked into a room, Elvis Presley was in the f***ing room. I don't give a f*** who was in the room with him, Bogart, Marilyn Monroe.
confidence self-confidence initiative
I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
