About Eddie Murphy: Edward Regan is an American comedian, actor, writer, singer, and director.
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've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
After all these years, I've done well and I'm cool. I feel comfortable in my skin, I've saved some paper, everybody's healthy, my kids are beautiful and smart, doing different things, it's all good.
I leave my house all the time! But I'm not at all the Hollywood parties. I'm grown, and where else am I supposed to be? I'm supposed to be home.
If I don't die in a plane crash or something, this country has a rare opportunity to watch a great talent grow.
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.
In a movie like this, the relationship between the two guys is crucial. It sinks or swims on how these two guys are together. I think we did a good job.
In reality, all men are sculptors, constantly chipping away the unwanted parts of their lives trying to create a masterpiece.
I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
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.
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
The economy in Ireland has been rampaging ahead for the last 15 years. Barring an international, political or natural catastrophe, things can only get better for the Irish.
The advice I would give to someone is to not take anyone's advice.
If you're involved in with something that's original, you know, you'll always go back and try to rehash it.
I started out as an impressionist and that's all about observing - how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.
I only want to do what I really want to do; otherwise, I'm content to sit here and play my guitar all day.
I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.
I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.
From the very beginning, I always tried to make dialogue flow comfortably; I always did that to make it seem more authentic.
If you have a flop movie, so what? And if you have a hit movie, it's 'so what,' too - it's on to the next movie.
