Richard Pryor

I was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.

A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed, playing Nintendo.

I'd like to make you laugh for about ten minutes though I'm gonna be on for an hour.

Marriage can be work, it can be difficult, it can be hard, but I think working through those times makes you stronger as a couple and as a unit.

If you look at my CV, just about everything I have done has come through a publicly funded institution; it is a career entirely built on that sort of support.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
