I love fatherhood…The whole idea of being out there and doing three movies a year, that's over ... I found over and over again and along the way I realised that if you put your children first you never make a bad decision…My kids are smart and are trying to do stuff. I am blessed with my kids. I really, really got lucky.”

Talking about how his kids are “normal people”, Eddie Murphy added, “During the podcast, the actor-comedian added, "When you hit a crossroads moment or you have got some s**t , you think, 'Well, what is best for my children?' If you go that route then you never make a bad decision." He added, "I am so blessed with my kids, I don't have one bad seed. I don't have any like 'Oh you are the one.' I don't have any of that. My kids are so great, normal people and nobody is like the Hollywood je*k kid."
