thinking make-you-think down-and
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.
relationship jobs thinking
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.
thinking comedian actors
I’m a comedian who got into movies, so I don’t really think of myself as an actor.
thinking doe concentration
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.
mean thinking together
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.
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.
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.

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.
above box bunch crash movies rise stayed time work
There's 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 didn't want to be doing the same thing all the time. Every now and then, you crash and burn, but that's part of it.
attitudes observing people
I started out as an impressionist and that's all about observing - how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.
burned effect house life normal soon
We want the same effect as if someone's house burned here, ... We want to give them a normal life as soon as possible.
men sound three
Apparently every man was told to bring three women with them. Sounds like a ho-down.

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

We want the same effect as if someone's house burned here. We want to give them a normal life as soon as possible.
