I Don't Have Any Regrets.

I'm Definitely Not A Nerd.

You've Got To Think About How To Do Things For The Right Price. You Have To Shoot In Different Places To Be Creative And Get Tax Rebates.

You Can't Reinvent The Wheel. You've Got To Just Take The Best From All The Other Shows And Try To Make It Work, Because There's The "live Show Gods" That Dictate If There Are Going To Be Any Surprises, If There's A Very Commercial Film That's A Best Picture. There Are A Lot Of Things That Are Out Of My Control, But I Do My Best.

When I Was 13, Eddie Murphy Was To Me What Chris Tucker Was To 13-year-olds When I Made 'rush Hour.' And 'rush Hour' Really Came Out Of The Fact That I Grew Up Watching 'beverly Hills Cop' And '48 Hrs.'

Whoever Writes A Bad Review, I Put Their Name On A List, And They're Going To Get Taken Care Of One Day Down The Road. Otherwise, I Don't Let It Bother Me. The Truth Is, These Are Review-proof Movies. The Audiences Are Going To See It. My Audience, Our Audience, Isn't Reading Esquire Magazine To See If My Movie Is Good Or Not. They Just Want To Laugh, To Be Entertained, And Lose Themselves.
