I would like more challenging roles. I definitely would like to something that's more challenging.
I read so many scripts, that I don't do that much leisurely reading of books.
You go from movies where you are wearing nice clothes and you're trying to smell good to a movie where you are in water and you are wet all day, and you are dealing with that elements, it gets rough, but it was definitely something I wanted to try.
It's hard when you see a scene where it's raining, and we have the rain machine, and you see it for 5 minutes, but that scene takes all day to shoot, and you do it with rain, and the dry off, and go back and do it again.
One thing I love about making an ensemble film is that you can have ten people come away from it with ten different messages.
When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
You start making movies and people start seeing when you go to places, and all of a sudden you are getting clothes for free and all of a sudden you are getting food for free.
I'm getting to the point where they see me as a good actor, rather than just a good guy who can act.
To me the work is so much more interesting, the parts that don't require you just to take your shirt off.
Some people make a career out of doing one thing, but I wanted to diversify my body of work.
Producing is easier, I can just be at the set overseeing the story.
I did a film which was considered an independent movie with Dustin Hoffman and Andy Garcia called Confidence, and that's the type of film I was willing to take a chance on that because of the caliber of people involved with the film.
You really don't have to worry about your spouse, as long as you trust him or her. If you trust your spouse or whoever you're in a relationship with, everybody else doesn't matter.
At one point, people thought that Eddie Murphy would only reach one sector of the audience, but now everyone sees everything Eddie Murphy does.
