“I live my life and play my music, and I don't really seek out other people's approval or accolades or things like that. I try to do what's true to me, and how it all comes out is fine.”

“If you go to Tiananmen Square, or go to any public area in China, you will hear my music at some point.”

“I want to be remembered like Pete Rose. 'Charlie Hustle.' I want people to say, 'Wherever he was, he was always giving it his all.'”

“Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie and she knows why my marriage ended with Charlie.”

“At the end of the day, when Charlie Murphy ain't here no more, I'll have a body of work that people can laugh and remember me by.”
