Eddie
Murphy
Biography - Eddie was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1961. From an early age he
began to do stand up comic routines in pubs and clubs. At only 19 he managed to
become a regular on Saturday Night Live. It was obvious his talents would propel
him to greater things, and sure enough, just over a year later he was co-starring
in the hugely successful 48 hours with Nick Nolte. Through the early 80's Murphy
became a huge star. Somewhat inevitably he hit a slump, but in the mid to late
90's his career had a resurgance, and so did his salary demands. He hit box office
gold with Dr Dolittle, The Nutty Professor and was at his best when voicing the
wise-cracking donkey in animated hit Shrek.

Hey, what
about Shrek? He's ugly 24/7!
You might
have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain't never seen a
donkey fly! Ha, ha!
I'm a donkey
on the edge!
Don't die,
Shrek! And if you see any long tunnels, stay away from the light!
[To huge
dragon]
What large teeth you have! I mean white sparkly teeth, I know you probably hear
this all the time from your food but you must bleach or something, cos that's
one dazzling smile you got there and do I detect a hint of minty freshness?
This'll
be fun. We'll stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning ... I'm
making waffles!
Bowfinger Quotes
(1999)
The white
man gets all the best catchphrases!
White boys
always get the Oscar. It's a known fact. Did I ever get a nomination? No! You
know why? Cause I hadn't played any of them slave roles, and get my ass whipped.
That's how you get the nomination. A black dude who plays a slave that gets his
ass whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the Oscar.
That's what I need, I need to play a retarded slave, then I'll get the Oscar.
Call Arnold
and Sly!, and Jackie Chan and Van Damne, and tell them the spearchukcer said hello!

I'm a small
reporter from "Rolling Stone" magazine that's in town to do an exclusive interview
with Michael Jackson that's gonna be picked up by every major magazine in the

On Top of the World Just As Long As He Doesn't Sit in the Beverly Palm Hotel 'Cause
There's No Ni**ers Allowed in There!"
