Maybe Depression Is The Most Reasonable Response

I Think Seeing Pryor's First Movie, Live In Concert, When I Was In High School Changed My Life. Pryor Really Put The Heart In Darkness For Me.

I'm Not For Everyone. I'm Barely For Me.

I've Always Been Someone Who Likes To Talk To People. When I Was A Little Kid, I Sought Out Freaks And Weirdos That Wandered The Streets By Where I Worked In High School. I Would Just Bring Them In And Talk To Them.

When You're A Kid, You Always Feel You Have This Weird Kindred-spirit Thing With Other Jews, Until You Get Older And You Realize It's Just Middle-class Bourgeois Jews That Sort Of Fit A Template That Your Family Fits Into One Way Or Another.

I Remember Seeing Richard Pryor's First Movie; It Was A Midnight Movie When I Was In High School. I Must Have Been About Fifteen. It Was One Of The Most Cathartic Experiences Of My Life. I'd Never Laughed That Much.
