cop hear impressed means met police
I was really impressed when I met Will the police motto, 'protect and serve,' really means something to him. All he ever wanted to do is be a cop it's one thing to read that on the page, but another thing to hear him say it.
cop feels great hear impressed means met police
I was really impressed when I met Will -- the police motto, 'protect and serve,' really means something to him. All he ever wanted to do is be a cop -- it's one thing to read that on the page, but another thing to hear him say it. It feels great to be making a movie about great cops,

bunch months needed stretch tour year
I used to tour with this band. I was a drummer. I would tour a bunch for about 10 months out of the year and act for about two months. I would make what I needed from acting and would stretch it out.

What happened happened. What's gonna happen, is gonna happen.
interesting watches knows
It's so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what's funny.
ties mexican style
I lived in Chicago, in a shady part of town, and the cops would always stop me since I'm Mexican and I look like the other dudes. Style played a part in it. You're not really going to dress in a suit in a tie.
girl guy way
I've always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.
running imagination comic
A good comic explores the imagination, but it's always got to have those notes of truth running through it.
names two people
I guess people recognize me, but I'm not a household name. Two out of every five people who come up to me know my name. The one thing I don't want is to be followed by paparazzi.
drama balance add
I'm just an actor. If it's drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it's a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don't wanna be too serious.
years tv-shows advice
My first ten years in Hollywood were really tough. I'd be coaching friends who came to me for acting advice, and then they'd make it before I did. I'd still be helping them while they were on movie sets and I had four lines on a TV show.
skills cuffs someday
Eddie Murphy is just so off-the-cuff and can make anything funny. You hope that someday you'll acquire that skill, but maybe you're born with that.
