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.
— Eddie Murphy
I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
I started out as an impressionist and that's all about observing - how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.
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.
I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty.
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.
I only want to do what I really want to do; otherwise, I'm content to sit here and play my guitar all day.
