Alfonso Ribeiro:
The one thing I would say to everybody is simply that it is a marathon, not a sprint, It’s not about winning week one, it’s about winning that final week. You’ve got to take it slow, pace yourself. Go hard, learn everything, and be the best you can be and give it 100 percent, but pace yourself.

For the Richard Pryor I wore eight inch heels and a dress that was a little too low. He (Hall) sat with me for an hour and didn’t say Patti go take off those pumps.
