More quotes by Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor

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

Richard Pryor
I went to Zimbabwe. I know how white people feel in America now relaxed! Cause when I heard the police car I knew they weren't coming after me!
Richard Pryor
He's just always positive. He's always smiling and he's always trying.
Richard Pryor
A lie is profanity. A lie is the worst thing in the world. Art is the ability to tell the truth.
Richard Pryor
You have to have lived some life. You've got to have paid some dues.
Richard Pryor
I'm slower and some days are better than others, but I'm a fighter.
Richard Pryor
Crosses only scare vampires away because they're allergic to bullshit.
Richard Pryor
You work your butt off and somebody says you can't have your record played because it offends them. Tyrants are made of such stuff.
Richard Pryor
