You know who you are. If my mother is a nun and someone comes up to me and they go, 'Your mother is a prostitute.' It is not going to bother me, because I know my mother is a nun, she's not a prostitute.

I'm as American as apple pie.

I have nothing to do with racism in America; it was here when I got here.

The king of comedy is dead. Richard Pryor was the king of comedy. The rest of them are the king of copycats.

There's no such thing as reverse racism.

An audience can be like a pack of wolves.

White people are very good at acting like they're not racist. They deserve an Academy Award for that.
