Richard Pryor was the ordsprog
 [Chappelle, who loved the joke, could never make time to film. The directors were lucky enough to catch Chris Rock backstage, with camera in hand. As for the venerable Richard Pryor,] Every comedian in America wishes they were Richard Pryor, ... We could hear him laughing and coughing in the background. |
| By expressing his heart, anger and joy, Richard Pryor took comedy to its highest form. |
| We're getting a chance to pay homage to Richard Pryor in his hometown, with the film that he came back to Peoria to make in the 80's. |
| Pryor has repeatedly proven he is an ideological tyrant of the highest order. Pryor's extremist views may resonate with the outer fringes, but they have no place on the federal bench. This is an American travesty. |
| I think comedians partially use it for shock value. They know it makes people uncomfortable, so they exploit it. Richard Pryor probably said the word 100 times a day, but I think there's a degree of disregard for what anyone has to think that's associated with someone who just throws the word around the way some comedians do. |
| When Nelson Mandela after 27 years in prison came to Detroit and we were there to welcome him, what did Nelson Mandela do when he found out that Rosa Parks was in the stands? ... He led a chant, 'Rosa Parks, Rosa Parks, Rosa Parks.' That made us realize that this is an international phenomenon. |
John Conyers (1945-)
| I could not be more pleased and proud that Judge Bill Pryor was part of the group that were agreed upon by those members of the Senate to get an up-or-down vote. Bill Pryor is the kind of judge America ought to have. |
| He was hanging his head, his coat wouldn't turn - it was almost like he was depressed, ... Richard decided he was craving attention, so he moved him to a paddock near their house. His wife and daughter started feeding and playing with him every day. The horse perked right up, and when Richard went to training him, he was better than ever. After his second five-eighths, Richard told me, 'This horse has another Breeders' Cup in him.' |
| It was heavy to carry around. We editors have to carry manuscripts. I do a lot of homework on the subway, at home at night and on weekends. You look at a manuscript like that and you think it will need cutting. There was very little to cut. It was already very tight. Richard III is so intriguing. We all hate him. He's the sniveling, hunchback murderer. How terrific of Anne to turn that on its head and say this is the Richard I see. This is the Richard I imagine. I like that aspect a lot. |
| Everybody wanted to explain Rosa Parks and wanted to teach Rosa Parks, but Rosa Parks wasn't very interested in that, ... She wanted them to understand the government and to understand their rights and the Constitution that people are still trying to perfect today. |
John Conyers (1945-)
| [Brinkley recalled Parks' visit with former South African president Nelson Mandela back in 1990; Mandela was overcome with emotion during the meeting.] Tears filled his eyes as he walked up to the small, old woman with her hair in two silver braids crossed atop her head, ... And, in a low, melodious tone, Mandela began to chant 'Rosa, Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks.' |
| Pryor started it all. He made the blueprint for the progressive thinking of black comedians, unlocking that irreverent style. |
|  |
| We wanted to include the most memorable people. Richard and Jonathan were both high on the list. Richard always elicits a reaction, one way or the other. |
