Charlie Murphy

I went into the military because I wanted to get an education, not because I wanted to fight anybody. ”

I'm an entertainer, period. I can write it, I can speak it, and I can act it. ”

Every barbershop has a guy who wrecks shop every time he comes in. He has the whole barbershop laughing. That doesn't mean he's a comedian. ”

I have people tell me all the time, 'I was expecting you to be mean.' Why is that? Because you saw me in a movie? That's acting. ”

I'm always working, and I'm a single parent, so I don't think I have time for stuff most normal people do. ”

I used to irritate people. I'd give them a hard time, and when it drove them crazy, that was funny to me. ”

Charlie Murphy has been around for a long time. I've worked with a lot of exciting artists, and it was a thrill to be around to watch them display their skills. ”

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. ”

I don't need to wait for someone else to get a bright idea and say, 'I wanna work with this guy.' I can do my own thing and drop it right on the Web and bypass you and your bright idea. ”
