“I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfort...” — Eddie Murphy Quote

“I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.”

“I don't know what my Death Row meal would be. I'm surprised that people can even eat when they're on Death Row.”

“I never hated hip-hop. It became the new rock and roll. It became the biggest thing that Africans have ever done in the history of the Americas. Hip-hop put more black Americans on than anything before it. It fed more people. It allowed them to diversify into clothing lines and billion-dollar headphone companies.”

“I didn't want to be a comedian. I wanted to be an actor - maybe a comic actor, but a real actor - by real, I mean not a comedian. I wanted to be an actor.”

“Some people assume that I'm a stand-up comedian - I couldn't think of anything worse - and then they ask 'would you like to do something like a costume drama?'”

“My goal is just to become a better comedian.”
