"You know why they think I'm reclusive? I don't do the Hollywood stuff. I've never been on the circui..." — Eddie Murphy

I'm kind of long in the tooth to fly in in a cape now, so I'd have to be, like, the voice of reason or somebody. 'Don't do that, super-fellow!'

I used to be the hippest of them all. I used to know everything about everything. I used to read about everything that was going on, and I knew everybody's name and anybody in pop culture. Anything that was written about me, I would read.

Music has always been around with me.

My first concert makes me sound like a real old man. My very first concert was Jackie Wilson.
