Even the great Richard Pryor started somewhere.

-
I’m not afraid of taking the heat.
Even hostile audiences can be dealt with gracefully.

I’m not afraid of exploring issues that make people uncomfortable.
Richard Pryor was fearless in this regard. Fearless.
-
I’m not afraid of having fun with it all.
