Education happens to be something that all people, all cultures, need to embrace. Math, science, the words of the world. To be able to speak and be able to have clarity and to be able to think. Those are the greatest of gifts.
From Bill Cosby
I was 23 years old, a freshman at university, and there I was, on the first day, sitting in a remedial English class. I was so ashamed I almost got up and left, but somehow I knew inside that if I ran away from this, I would hate myself forever.
Karl Malden was a good friend of mine, and he said, 'You draw the people to you,' and I guess that's what I do.
I think I am a good running back, but I'm really not that fast. There is only one thing I can do, that is throw a cross-body block. Picture perfect. I love it. Not that good at pass blocking.
I don't spend my hours worrying how to slip a social message into my act.
I think if a 30-year-old Bill Cosby sat on stage with a 72-year-old Bill Cosby, they would enjoy each other.
My observations are not bread crumbs. They do not dissolve. They are on record, on film printed in books, and found on the Internet. I am happy to share them. For this I was born.
Things from real life are the things that get people laughing.
There's a gap between people knowing what I do and really believing that I still do that - and wondering what it is I really do.
I tell stories. Because I believe you can do things that joke tellers can't do, and that is, bring your audience along.
