Richard Pryor
You gotta be cool when you're macho man, cuz you can't be sensitive and care about someone having a good time in bed, cuz that's too scary... When you don't use sensitivity when you're having sex, or share some of your soul, nothing gonna happen, because men really get afraid. Men really get scared in bed.

Richard Pryor
If I ain't horny, I check to see if my heart's beatin'.
Richard Pryor
All humor is rooted in pain.
Richard Pryor
I think about being married again, having a home and a wife. No one can ever be married too many times, and maybe if I keep trying I'll get it right one day.
Richard Pryor
I bought my parents a home before they died, and they got to see that I was going to be all right. They always thought I would go someplace.
Richard Pryor
I was given two weeks to walk again, so I hooked up with a trainer, and he... had me walking. I'll never forget that, it was grueling.
Richard Pryor
Why get killed when you can run ... your ego will heal much faster than a broken jaw.
Richard Pryor
