Edward Regan, ‘Eddie’ Murphy, is a well-known American actor, producer, film director, singer and comedian. He became famous for his deep, contagious and silly humour. Several quotes of his have become his trademark, and some are presented below.
‘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 this quote, Murphy expressed the transparency and expressiveness of kids. Kids express their feelings without hesitation and without worrying what others will think about them.
‘You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort, and sometimes all the ingredients don’t work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won’t work.’ This quote refers to his acceptance that everything in the film business is uncertain. Making movies require several factors, and even if you give everything to it, sometimes it just doesn’t work out.
‘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’, says Murphy. He is sure that in his 20 years in the film business, he has already achieved a lot and established a mark.
‘My life is nothing like the Daddy Day Care life. Me around the house is nothing like the Daddy Day Care dad.’ Murphy compares his real life situation to his role in the 2003 American comedy film ‘Daddy Day Care,’ where he played a busy working father. Somehow, he was able to relate to his role.
