George Carlin was great right up to the end of his life. But Richard Pryor was probably the best, most gifted stand-up comedian who will ever live.
Being a kid and growing up is such a cool part of life. When you're young, you have no worries, no drama, only your imagination. It's the best!
And now, I'm a best selling author, a different sort of fairy tale that I still sometimes wonder when I'll wake up from.
I don't wake up each morning saying, 'Oh, wow, it's me. I think I'm the cat's meow. I'm the best.'
Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists.

I already know what giving up feels like. I want to see what happens if I don’t.
The biggest place I look for validation is from my mother. That's the little girl in me that will never grow up.
The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.
I used to give up writing like some people would give up smoking.
Regarding the Panama Canal Treaty negotiations, they will find us standing up or dead, but never on our knees; NEVER!
