Eddie Murphy Biography

"Every bad decision I've made has been based on money. I grew up in the projects and you don't turn down money there. You take it, because you never know when it's all going to end. I made Cop III because they offered me $15 million. That $15 million was worth having Roger Ebert's thumb up my ass."

"I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did."

"I'm relaxed about my career. I've been making movies for over 20 years, so I've earned at least the right to relax."
