Why do people love Richard Pryor so much? 'Cause he had problems.

I love my daughter, but there's a certain feeling, a certain emotion when you got a granddaughter, you know?

Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.

My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.

I have Glocks, .45s, Berettas, Remingtons. I like the marksmanship and the discipline that it takes to be a gun owner. I like the machinery. Being able to take it out and clean it is even more fascinating than having the gun.

I know doing movies is where I need to be. That's where my audience wants to see me.

It's a pleasure to work with someone who is just as strong as you are.
