abandoned buildings came crack eddie everybody ghetto grew hotels household la lived looked loving middle murphy saw stayed until worst york
I grew up in a very loving two-parent household in the middle of one of the worst ghettos in New York City, ... I didn't know I lived in the ghetto until I was like 20, 19. I came to LA with Eddie Murphy and stayed at hotels and all this stuff. When I got back and I saw what my neighborhood looked like, I started getting scared. I just thought everybody lived around abandoned buildings and had crack heads.
rainy-day car house
Nobody's about saving anymore. No one cares about a rainy day anymore. Nobody saves up enough for even an umbrella for a rainy day. It's sad. It really is a new form of slavery. We used to work to be able to afford material things. Now we work for these things. They're the boss. That house you can't afford, that car that's out of your price range, that cellphone that drains your bank account - that's your boss.
guy house scared
I'll go with the guy with one house. The guy with one house is scared about losing his house.
guy house three
I see guys who can't make 10 percent of what I make, and yet they have four Bentleys, three houses, and four bodyguards.
house half rich
You know you're rich when you have to drive for a half hour to get to your house once you're on your property.

I'm in show business, ... I want to hang out with Janet Jackson, not Jesse Jackson.

These people depend on public transportation, and these people can't afford a nice hotel, because some of them work there. Now it's your chance to help them.

I want to thank all the white kids who beat (me). I'm rich!
black cosby exception father guys james
I kind of wanted to give him that James Evans nobility, ... With the exception of 'The Cosby Show,' every black father I see on TV, they're not really masculine. They're like these theater-type guys -- not gay, not straight, just theater.
walked
I've been working for a while -- I don't think I've ever done anything and walked out,
check depend jump nice people public time
Not everyone can jump in their SUV's and go check into a nice hotel. Those people depend on public transportation... Now it's the time to do something for them.
approve comments cringe name
I should see every script, I should make my comments and approve of jokes. I can't cringe at a show that's got my name on it.
casting excuse famous funny gonna horrible seen stunt
I've never seen stunt casting that's actually funny: 'Oh, it's Shaq,' and then there's some horrible excuse for him to dunk, ... It's, like, 'We got a famous guy, and he's gonna be famous tonight' -- and it sucks!
gave gonna next oscar oscars parking
Aw, man, they gave 'em the Oscar on stage. Next they're gonna give the Oscars in the parking lot. It'll be like a drive-through Oscar lane. You get an Oscar and a McFlurry and keep on moving.
