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.

I'm not really struggling about my career. The struggles are in my personal life. I can't really pinpoint how long it took me to get where I'm at, and I didn't care how long it was going to take, because it's not about the destination, it's about the journey.

As a child, I was able to know that I wanted a better life.

I do stand up sometimes out of anger. Sometimes the greatest stuff comes from a dark place.

Fame doesn't matter. Money doesn't matter. Those things are forever fleeting. I just want to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, so that when I'm long gone my great-great-grandchildren can walk up to it and say, "That's my ancestor." That will be my legacy.

You get somebody to crack a smile, that's a beautiful thing.

If we all had a little bit of Michael Jackson in us, I think it would make the world a better place.
