You know, it's like, you know, when Robin Williams smashed that role, you know.

And it's like, when you look at things like that, you always try to find, like, what would you do differently?
-
What would you add to that?
-
So I looked at it and the first thing was, I didn't feel like I wanted to touch it.
-
But then I spent some time with it, and, you know, I met with the directors and talked about it.
-
-I think you're perfect. -Oh, thank you, man.
-
I think you're perfect for the role.
-
Absolutely a great decision. [ Cheers and applause ]
-
- Phenomenal, man. - Thank you.

Quest will know this.

What did it for me, when I was messing with the music, there's a song, "A friend like me, you ain't never had a friend like me."

Let's take a look. Will Smith.

Hey, can you make me a prince?

There is a lot of gray area in "make me a prince."
-
I could just make you a prince.
-
Oh, no.

Right, you'd be snuggled up with that dude for the rest of your life.
-
Yo, y'all see my palace?
-
Be specific with your words.
-
- The deal is in the detail. - Got it.
-

I told you -- she has to marry a prince.
-
I just want to go home, man.
-
Okay, I can do that.
