My life growing up was a twisted Bronx version of The Color Purple. It had a much different soundtrack and no trees, but that desperation was the same.

I want to let my fans know I love them and I'm coming your way and I'm bringing truckloads of funny.

I had a great time working on 'Saturday Night Live.' It was one of the important times in my life.

I don't really take the college tours and all that. Those are young people and I'm quite sure they're mature enough to understand, but they haven't seen or lived real life yet.

My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.

If you don't laugh, you're going to cry and people are crying. That's why I guess you have lots of people like comedians to keep us laughing.

What am I afraid of? The IRS. Thats it. I dont want those people knockin on my door, man.
