packs-of-wolves packs audience
An audience can be like a pack of wolves.
real self white
I've never seen anyone more messed up over success than Richard Pryor. For him, it's a constant battle between success in the white world and keeping it real for his black self.
past reality deals
You can't pick when you're touched. You can't pick the time. It just is. It's the reality. What it is, is. I can't change the past. I can only deal with the present and the future.
political actors world
The political arena is the funniest.They [politicians] are always pretending to change, but they never change. They're the best actors and actresses in the world. They've always been hilarious since the beginning of time.
morning people black
I love Obama because he is proof all black people don't look alike. Nobody every told me, 'Good morning, Mr. President.' We don't all look alike.
crazy thinking people
People think you're crazy if you turn money down... people worship money.
passionate passive naive
I'm passionate about what I do. I'd be naive to be passive.
pie apples apple-pie
I'm as American as apple pie.
real men white-man
People in America worship money, and a white man's face on a green piece of paper does not make me wealthy. My health makes me wealthy. I used to work at a hospital, so I know the real deal.
people sometimes reason
People do many things for many reasons. Sometimes, what you do you have no control over, because it's predestined. It's gonna happen in spite of you. There's nothing you can do about it.
running black president
Hillary Clinton could say she was a woman and running for president. And Sarah Palin could say she was a woman and running for vice-president. But Obama couldn't say, 'I'm black and I'm running for president.' It couldn't come out of his mouth. He couldn't say that because, if he did, he'd lose votes.
taken jail race
When I was 16 or 17, I saw Lenny Bruce being taken to jail. They took him off stage because he talked about race.
past anything-can-happen cant-change
I can't change the past, but one person can change the future - anything can happen.
slavery levels remember
You got to remember that slavery's very complex. It has a lot of levels to it.
