Reality is the scary thing. Not my work, not comedy.

I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.

Because Eddie [Murphy] came from where I come from, the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. People in the projects used to call me Fat Murphy.

I'm not a hateful person and don't condone any kind of violence against others.

The things I did on Saturday Night Live are going to stay as Saturday Night Live. You've never seen Eddie Murphy do a Gumby movie. There's a lot more new material inside of me.

Being funny wasn't a career choice growing up, it was my way out of situations; a way to survive another day.

Every person has contributed to me as a human, but a lot of the characters I do are ones I created.
