More quotes by Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor
I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think.
Richard Pryor
You can have a film and have 200 white people working on it, and nobody finds anything wrong with that. But if you insist on having a black crew, all of a sudden there's something wrong.

Richard Pryor
The MS really started going downhill in 1990.
Richard Pryor
If I thought about it, I could be bitter, but I don't feel like being bitter. Being bitter makes you immobile, and there's too much that I still want to do.
Richard Pryor
I just don't want to die alone, that's all. That's not too much to ask for, is it It would be nice to have someone care about me, for who I am, not about my wallet.
Richard Pryor
Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.
Richard Pryor
I'm slower and some days are better than others, but I'm a fighter.
Richard Pryor
All humor is rooted in pain.
Richard Pryor
There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.
Richard Pryor
Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings... and lawyers.
Richard Pryor
