real men firsts
My first concert makes me sound like a real old man. My very first concert was Jackie Wilson.
men shoes tied
I am a man who has never tied his own shoes before!
men thinking people
I'm just a man. I think people are reacting to something else when they see me. They're not reacting to me, Eddie Murphy. They don't even know me. It's just luck and the God in me they're reacting to.
men self ideas
All men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives, trying to create their idea of a masterpiece.
artist acting
I'm the artist when I'm doing music that I am when I'm acting. I'm everything.
kids guy age
I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I'm playing right where I'm supposed to be. I'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath I'd do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I'd do it.
kids want emotion
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.
funny life might
You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain't never seen a donkey fly! Ha, ha!
makeup interesting faces
I trip off it. You know what's interesting about the makeup is when you get up close and you know he's been working on your face, and you see where the makeup starts and it stops, and how seamless it is. You could look at it for hours.
inspiration voice creative
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.
basketball mistake shots
It is as big a mistake to turn down a good shot as it is to take a bad one
basketball character player
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
I just voted for Jesse Jackson !
country opportunity rare-opportunities
If I don't die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
