No worries, he'll be back. Maybe a little worse for wear, but still funny. He’s died a couple of times now. No worries, he’ll be back. Maybe a little worse for wear, but still funny.

My favorite bit of his is from his original album, "That Nigger's Crazy." He plays a drunk in one scene. The guy stands by the side of the road and rails at everybody. Some guy goes speeding by, and he says, "Hey! Slow down, mutha-fuckah. This ain't no residential district; this here's a neighborhood!" Brilliant. We'll miss him, but his influence will always remain. Richard Pryor had a profound effect on me as a young fellow and, I believe, opened doors of understanding that were closed until he came along.
