The actor recently spoke to Fox News Digital about his upcoming memoir, "Entrances and Exits," in which Seinfeld writes the foreword. The comedian writes about the evolution of his character Kramer and other behind-the-scene revelations. The book will also address the predominant reason he's shied away from Hollywood, his infamous racist rant.

In 2006, Richards received immense backlash after he shouted racial slurs at hecklers in the audience of his stand-up show at the Laugh Factory. The situation "drove him to a lifelong spiritual quest, one that would help him move forward from apology and accountability to a greater appreciation for our shared humanity, a quest that continues to this day almost eighteen years later," per his publisher Permuted Press. 

"My book is a hymn to the irrational, the senseless spirit that breaks the whole into pieces, a reflection on the seemingly absurd difficulties that intrude upon us all," he said in a statement. "It’s like Harpo Marx turning us about, shaking up my plans, throwing me for a loop. 

"Upset and turmoil is with us all the time. It’s at the basis of comedy. It’s the pratfall we all take. It’s the unavoidable mistake we didn’t expect. It’s everywhere I go. It’s in the way that I am, both light and dark, good and not-so-good. It’s my life."
