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

Richard Pryor
