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 know that if I wasn't scared, something's wrong, because the thrill is what's scary.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.

I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary.

I've always had a natural fear of the police, or abuse of their power.
