The Kid Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.

My Wife Asked Me Once If I Weren't A Comedian, What I Would Do. I Couldn't Answer The Question. I Never Imagined Doing Anything Else.

If Someone Sits And Stares At You While You Eat, You Won't Even Eat The Way You Normally Do, Because It'll Make You So Uncomfortable. If I Look At My Dog When He's Eating, He Will Look At Me Like, "dave, I Will Bite You. What Are You Looking At? I'm Trying To Eat." It's Something That Dehumanizes A Person, Being On Display Like That.

The Only Way You Can Know Where The Line Is, Is If You Cross It.

No One Wants To Get Their Ass Beat To A Soundtrack.

My Kids Look Actually Happy. And I Learned Early On That Perfectionism And Parenthood Is A Toxic Combination For Everybody Involved. In Other Words, So Many Things Can Flourish Naturally. All You Gotta Do Is Make Sure The Soil's Right. I View Myself More Like A Guide Than A Ruler.

I Just Always Loved Stand-up. It's Like Magic. You Say Something, And A Whole Room Full Of People Laughs Together. Say Something Else, They Laugh Again. The Fact That People Come To See That And Participate In That... I Don't Know, It's Just Like Magic.

Comedians By And Large Are Some Of The Most Sensitive People On Earth. Even If They're Socially Callous.

I Think One Artist To Another Artist, The Best Compliment You Can Pay One Another, Because The Part Of You That Is Inspired Or Creates Something, To Write A Joke Or A Song, That's Like The God-like Part Of A Person.

I Wish I Had More Hands, So I Could Give Those Titties Four Thumbs Down!

There's Not Too Many People That Don't Think I'm Crazy, For Walking Away From So Much Money. I'm At A Restaurant With My Wife, It's A Nice Restaurant, We're Eating Dinner. I Look Across The Room, I Say, 'you See This Guy Over Here, Across The Room? He Has $100 Million.' And We're Eating The Same Entree. So, Ok, Fine, I Don't Have $50 Million Or Whatever It Was, But Say I Have $10 Million In The Bank. The Difference In Lifestyle Is Miniscule.

I Got My Hat Pulled Up Low And No One Can Really See Me. I'm Ducked Out. People Do Recognize Me, And I Have A Pretty Interesting Fan Base. It's A Diverse Group.

The Hardest Thing To Do Is To Be True To Yourself, Especially When Everybody Is Watching.

Be True To Yourself

With Younger People I'm Recognized With Always Half-baked, Blue Streak Because It's On Cable. Women, It's Always You've Got Mail. Nutty Professor Is Pretty Much Everybody Across The Board. It Seems Like They Like That One.

The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving Show Business Is Coming Back.

I Just Like Seeing People. I Just Like Meeting People. I Like Finding Out New Walks Of Life And New Ideas.

I Felt In A Lot Of Instances I Was Deliberately Being Put Through Stress Because When You're A Guy Who Generates Money, People Have A Vested Interest In Controlling You.

Who Goes From America To Africa For Medical Attention?

I'm Dave Chappelle And I'm A Chronic Masturbator.

There's Something About Doing Stand-up That's Cathartic.

I Don't Do Any Jokes That Old. I Might Have Maybe One Or Two Jokes From High School That I Still Do.

If I Can Make A Teacher's Salary Doing Comedy, I Think That's Better Than Being A Teacher.

I Want To Tell My Jokes. I Want To Have Time With My Children. I Want To Entertain People. And At One Point, I'll Walk Away From Show Business. But I Don't Want To Walk Away Empty-handed.

What Is Wrong With Me I Just Bought A Bag Of Weed From An Infant.

The Way The People Around You Position Themselves Around You To Get In Your Pockets And In Your Mind Is Infuriating To Me.

Why Don't You Click Your Heels Three Times And Go Back To Africa.

I Don't Want The Money. I Don't Want The Drama. I Just Want To Do My Show. I Want To Have Fun Again.

If You're Brad Pitt And Jennifer Aniston, And Your Marriage Is Breaking Up - That's An Awful Thing. But To See That Speculation In People, It's Gotta Sting A Little Bit.

One Of The Things That Happens When People Make The Leap From A Certain Amount Of Money To Tens Of Millions Of Dollars Is That The People Around You Dramatically Change.

Being Famous Is Great, It's Not Like Bad Or Horrible Or Anything.

Somebody Broke Into My House Once, This Is A Good Time To Call The Police, But Mm Mm, Nope. The House Was Too Nice. It Was A Real Nice House, But They'd Never Believe I Lived In It. They'd Be Like 'he's Still Here!

Something About New York, Man: You Can Do More Comedy There Probably Than You Can Anywhere In The World. If You're Interested In Being Funny, New York Is The Place To Go.

No Matter How Old You Are, If A Little Kid Hands You A Toy Phone... You Answer It.

I Support Anyone's Right To Be Who They Want To Be. My Question Is: To What Extent Do I Have To Participate In Your Self-image?

I Don't Really Frick With Africa Cause People Are Starving To Death And That's Not Ballin' To Me.

People Don't Know What It's Like Standing Up There Onstage, When You Have A Wall Of People Smiling At You.

Everyone Who Wants To Make It In Comedy Goes To L.a., So A Million Comedians Fight For Time On Three Stages. If You Get In There In New York, You're Working Eight Times A Night Sometimes. Who's Going To Be Funny, The Guy Who Works Once A Week, Or The Guy Working Eight Times A Night?

I Care About The Work I Do. But I'm Not Going To Say That Money's Not An Issue.

I Don't Want Anything Bad To Happen To The United States, But If North Korea Ever Drops A Nuclear Bomb On This Country, I Swear To God, I Hope It Lands In Hartford.

I Got Married Recently. So Far, So Good. Less Sex Than I Expected, But Other Than That, It's A Pretty Good Lifestyle.

After A While, A Joke, If You Say It Too Much, Just Becomes Contrived, Or Fake-sounding.

I Think Every Group Of Black Guys Should Have At Least One White Guy In It.

Because I Was Surrounded By So Much Negativity At Some Point That It Took Me Going Back And Doing Stand-up To Realize, You Know, People Really Like Me.

The Language You Are About To Hear... Is Disturbing.

I Always Take A Relationship To The Next Level. If That Works Out, I Take It To The Next Level After That, Until I Finally Reach That Level When It Becomes Absolutely Necessary For Me To Leave.

I Don't Normally Talk About My Religion Publicly Because I Don't Want People To Associate Me And My Flaws With This Beautiful Thing. And I Believe It Is Beautiful Religion If You Learn It The Right Way.

I Started When I Was 14. I Figured Out That's What I Wanted To Do When I Was 14. Even When I Was Six, I Can Remember People Telling Me, "you're Gonna Be A Comedian," And All This Stuff.

You Know, Be Able To Do Something Great In Your Life, You're Gonna Have To Realize Your Failures. You're Gonna Have To Embrace Them And Figure Out How To Overcome It.

Where I'm From? A Little Town Called None Of Yo God Damn Business.

I Don't Care If I Ever Work In Tv Again.

I Felt Like I Was Strong Enough And Unique Enough That I Should Give It A Big Leash To Shine. New York Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me As A Comedian.

You Get Sick Of Jokes, You Know. Either I Do Them On Tv, And Then You Worry, Like, "oh, Everyone's Gonna See It," So You Chuck It, Or You Just Get Sick Of Saying It. After A While, A Joke, If You Say It Too Much, Just Becomes Contrived, Or Fake-sounding.

The Mark Of Greatness Is When Everything Before You Is Obsolete, And Everything After You Bears Your Mark.

When I'm On Stage, I Get Real Happy There. Maybe That's The Only Time In My Adult Life I Feel Like Myself.

What That’s Allowed Me To Do Is Have A Vantage Point About My Own Life That's Accessible To People Still. I Could See A Guy Walking Down The Street And Be Like, Even Though I'm Famous, I Got More In Common With This Guy Than, Like, Brad Pitt.

Is This The 5:00 Free Crack Giveaway?

Everyone Around Me Says, You're A Genius! You're Great! That's Your Voice! But I'm Not Sure If They're Right.

The Biggest Enemy Of An Artist Is Apathy... A Kid Gets Killed By The Police And I Buy A T-shirt And Before I Can Wear That One, There's Another Kid (killed) And I'm Running Out Of Closet Space.

It Seems Like There's Never Enough Famous White People Among Comic In Hollywood.

I'm An Introspective Dude.

You Can't Get Unfamous. You Can Get Infamous But You Can't Get Unfamous.

Comedy Is A Very Approval-oriented Field.

If You Don't Have The Right People Around You And You're Moving At A Million Miles An Hour You Can Lose Yourself.

Losing Yourself

I Got A Lot Of Positive People Around Me.

Positive People

If I Put Forth A Legitimate Effort, Then I Feel Like, If That Doesn't Work Out, That's All I Can Do.

I Love Being Famous - It's Phenomenal.

I'm Famous Today. People Like Me Today. Might Not Like Me Tomorrow. You Can't Count On It.

Jerry Seinfeld, He Was Doing Letterman Show All The Time, So He Kind Of Had An Excuse, That People Know The Jokes Already. He Didn't Have Time To Do Stand-up. A Guy Like Me, I Have No Excuses.

Most Of The People Around Me Have A Vested Interest In How Much Money I Make. You Know, So A Celebrity Could Find Themselves In A Position Where People Could Have Meetings About Their Life Without Them Involved. And When I Say "their Life" I Mean Not Their Professional Life Either. They Could Talk About Their Personal Life.

America, I Appreciate You Liking Me.

The World Can't Tell You Who You Are. You've Just Got To Figure Out Who You Are And Be There, For Better Or Worse.

Dave! Relax! Close Your Buttcheeks!

Ralph Nader Has Slavery Reparations On His Platform, Which Makes Me Think He's Not Serious. If He Thought He Could Win He Wouldn't Even Say That.

I'm Happier In The Way A Guy Gets Happier When He Starts To Mature. It Doesn't Make Things Easier, But I'm So Much Better At Handling Them.

I've Done 10 Or 11 Pilots For Network Television, Which Is Ridiculous.

For One Year, I Want To Do This Thing Where I Guest-star On As Many Television Shows As I Possibly Can. I Love Television. The Fact That Television Ultimately Made Me Famous Was Very Gratifying For Me.

There's A Lot Of People Who Don't Want Anything From Me But To Laugh And Have A Good Time. You See Them At The Show And They Like - They Dress Up To Come See Your Show And Stuff. And They Pack These Auditoriums And It's A Lot Of Fun, Man. It's Like, This Is How I Started, And It's Still Fun For Me.

Most People Don't Know What It's Like To Stand Up There And Speak Their Mind. I Have A Venue To Do That. I Get Paid To Do That. It's Not Like I'm Doing Heavy Lifting Up There. It's Not Like I'm Solving The World's Problems. It's Like I'm Hanging Out With A Bunch Of People And It's Cool.

Fame For Me Is Like A Place, A Country I'm Taking A Tour Through.

I Have A Very Good Life, A High Quality Of Life. I Have Both Money And Time. No One Has That.

I've Been A Comedian Since I Was Fourteen. But I've Never Really Been A Ceo.

You Know You Must Be Doing Something Right If Old People Like You.

I Was 23. When You're 23, Your Concern Is Not For The Greater Good Of Humanity. I Didn't Feel Like I Was Unleashing An Evil On Society Or Anything. At The Time, That's What I Was Into, And I Did A Movie About It.

New White People, You Can't Scare These White People, I Tried.

I Was Doing Sketches That Were Funny But Socially Irresponsible. I Felt I Was Deliberately Being Encouraged And I Was Overwhelmed.

I Don't Do Drugs, Though. Just Weed.

Hey Hey Hey, Smoke Weed Everyday

My Generation Is Under-entertained.

I Got Real Important Relationships In My Life That Are Very Empowering Relationships.

Important Relationships

The Worst Thing To Call Somebody Is Crazy. It's Dismissive.

The Higher Up I Went, The Less Happy I Was.

Stand-up Is The Kind Of Gig That'll Show You Where You're At.

I Love The Fact That I Have A Show Where You Can Run Over A Kid And Everyone Busts Out Laughing.

I Would Go To Work On The Show And I Felt Awful Every Day, That's Not The Way It Was. ... I Felt Like Some Kind Of Prostitute Or Something. If I Feel So Bad, Why Keep On Showing Up To This Place? I'm Going To Africa. The Hardest Thing To Do Is To Be True To Yourself, Especially When Everybody Is Watching.

Weed's Not As Bad As Everything Else... 'cause Weed Is A Background Substance. You Know What I Mean, You Can Smoke Some Herb And Still Function. You Ain't Crisp... But You'll Function.

Money Is The Fuel For Choices. Money Gives Me Choices, So It's Not Nothing, It's Something. But It's Not The End All, Be All. There Are Other Things In My Life That I Did Not Purchase With Money That Are Very Valuable.

A Celebrity, Whatever I Am, You Get Cut Off Sometimes From People Just By Circumstance.
