Interview with Eddie Murphy on writing his comedy material; 1983

Interview with Eddie Murphy sitting next to Richard Pryor on writing his own comedy material. "I write all of my own stuff. Me, I think comedy is an extension of yourself when you stand up, you go up, and you're saying what you're about and what you think about something, so a person couldn't come and give me something. Somebody could give me an idea about something, but as far as writing a bit, I know where my head is at, and someone can't come and like give me something that happened to them and me like make it funny, because it's funniest when you know it." 1983 (LLVF608E - AEVZ001J).
