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 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

Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor
There's a lot more hypocrisy than before. Racism has gone back underground.
Richard Pryor
Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.
Richard Pryor
Yes, I'm religious. God has shown me things, made certain ways clear to me.
Richard Pryor
I'm not addicted to cocaine. I just like the way it smells.
Richard Pryor
I expected Dracula to come jumping out any second. If he did I'd have held up a cross, cause he's allergic to bullshit.
Richard Pryor
Unfortunately, the show's success comes at the expense of its biggest asset -- the comedians themselves.
Richard Pryor

Richard Pryor
