Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Dava Carvey, Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell - they're all the best.

I had all the intentions of being the next Eddie Murphy.

On 'Shrek,' Eddie Murphy was locked in as the donkey before we'd even designed the donkey.

As Richard Pryor was to Eddie Murphy, that's what Kurt Vonnegut was to me.

Cool is the enemy of funny. You can't be cool and be funny at the same time. Only Eddie Murphy could do that.

My thing is you're only as good as the people you work with. I've been blessed to work with the Wayanses and Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, and it makes you better.
