(On True Romance) I hadn`t read the script, and knew nothing about it. Tony (Scott) and I had tea at the Four Seasons and he said, `Look, I can`t really explain the plot. But Drexl`s a pimp who`s white but thinks he`s black.` That was all I needed to hear. I said, `Yes, I`ll do it.`
- Gary OldmanI`ve always been into films. I`ve been offered lots of films but they`ve always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict.
- Lenny KravitzI don`t like the negative of reality tv - the `you`re no good, so you have to leave, I choose you, but I thought you really loved me.` It`s all about how bad people are and I just hate that. I like Pimp my Ride where someone is helping somebody.
- Bob SagetEveryone has favorite criminals. Mine are pimps. We can all rob a bank; we can all sell drugs. Being a pimp is a whole other thing.
- Chris RockBut then again, you know, the pimp in TAXI DRIVER has this reason, given the environment he was living in.
- Harvey KeitelI am a handful, ... He should be able to handle me. If he can`t, he`s not a very good pimp.
- Heidi FleissWhen I was younger I wanted to be in the loop and pimp around town with the big shots and supermodels and all that crap. These days, though, I`d rather ride my motorcycle during the day, then have my kid chase me around the living room with a broom when I get home. I don`t feel the need to feed my ego the way I used to. - 1998.
- Stephen BaldwinI said, Do you consider yourself a pimp, also? ... (Reiner) said, Yeah, and I said, Well, you are. Because he was charging them fines and pocketing that money.
- Lance Williams
