Comedy Central Was A Great Network, But 'chappelle's Show' Took It To A Completely Different Level. Other Shows Got Bigger Because So Many Viewers Were Watching The 'chappelle' Reruns. For Bet, The 'real Husbands Of Hollywood' Has That Same Potential.

Sometimes When You Hear So Much And Everybody Is Praising You, You Can Get Lost In That. You Can Start Thinking That You Are On A Higher Pedestal Than Everyone Else. So I Try To Stay Level Headed, Humble And The Best Way To Do That Is To Not Really Acknowledge It That Much. I Just Keep Grinding And Working As Hard As I Can. I Also Set My Goals Higher So That I Don't Have Time To Be Content With My Place In Life And In My Career.

Hard Work And Determination Equals Success. Nothing Comes Easy. Put Your Mind To Something.

I Understand That Being Able To Appeal To The Public And Having An Amazing Sense Of Humour Is Not Something That Comes Easy. It's Definitely A Gift And For Which I'm Thankful.

I Think Poetry Can Be A Kind Of Secular Way In Which People Can Be Led To Approach The Difficult Parts Of Their Life, Where There's Been Loss, Where There's Sadness Of A Deep Kind. If Poetry Can Help People To Be More At Ease In Expressing Even To Themselves A Lot Of The Darkness And Pain Of Ordinary Human Existence, Then It's Serving Some Kind Of Cultural Role, Perhaps More Than A Cultural Role, Perhaps It Is Serving Something Of A Spiritual Role.

You Don't Have To Treat People Differently. You May Be Living A Different Lifestyle, But The Person Living That Different Lifestyle Still Can Relate To Anybody And Have The Same Amazing Personality Of The Guy From North Philly.

I Stepped Away Because I Didn't Want It To Get Any Worse. You're The Mother Of My Kids - I Don't Want To Hate You.'

I Don't Look At Obstacles As Obstacles. I Look At Them As Things That Were Put There For A Reason. You Can Approach These Things Negatively Or Positively. I Think Those That Approach It With A Negative Mindset Only Get A Negative Outcome.

Did I Try To Embarrass Other People? Now If It's About Other People, Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty.

Bigger And Better

I've Been Known To Preach.

I Had A Great Time Being A Salesman Because Of The Pitches That I Gave When I Was Selling Shoes. However, I Don't Think I'm As Well Versed In Shoes As I Am In Comedy.

I Performed In A Bowling Alley Before While People Were Still Bowling. Cut The Check, And I Will Perform Anywhere.

Catholicism Is The Big House Of Christianity. It's Got Many, Many Rooms In It. And I've Always Been Attracted To The Rooms Which Are To Do With Prayer. The Mystical Strain Is The Strain Whereby The Whole Day Can Be Given Over To Prayer Through What We Call Lectio Divina, Prayerful Reading Of Scripture, Through Practice Of Meditation Of When One Uses The Imagination And The Intellect With Respect To Images, And Then Finally, And Most Difficult Of All, Contemplation, Where One Empties The Mind Of All Images And All Ideas, All Concepts, In Order To Be Completely Attentive To God.

I'm A Businessman As Well As An Entertainer. The Reason Why Is Because I Want To Own Whatever I'm Doing. I Don't Want To Work For Other People Forever.

No Matter What, People Grow. If You Chose Not To Grow, You're Staying In A Small Box With A Small Mindset. People Who Win Go Outside Of That Box. It's Very Simple When You Look At It.

I Know How I Get Hard. Running On A Treadmill Behind Women In A Gym Normally Does It For Me.

My Son Is Becoming Me - Just A Silly, Silly Prankster Guy.

So Unless We Form Some Kind Of Adequate Relationship To Death, We're Never Going To Live Properly, And If We Think Of It Purely As A Medical Thing, We Have Reduced Life. We Should Think Of It As Some Sort Of Mystery Which We Can Participate In Now, Not Something To Be Pushed Off To One Side Till The Last Moments.

Going Through My Divorce Has Changed Who I Am In My Understanding Of What's Good And Bad In Relationships.

I'm Not A Good Storm-outer... Because I Forget Stuff.

It's Very Rare That You Get A Director That Lets You Be Creative And Bring What You Feel Your Character Should Do Or Should Be.

The Two Things In The World We All Share In This World Are Laughter And Pain. We've All Got Problems. The Levels Of Those Problems Vary, But We've All Got Problems. When You Can Take Things That Are Painful And Make Them Funny, That's A Gift - To You And Your Audience.

I Think Sometimes Celebrities Get So Big, They're Not Reachable.

Often Poetry, Especially The Sort Of Poetry I Write, Is Concerned With Looking At The Borders Between The Sensual And The Spiritual And Seeing Them As Divided, Equivocal, That Mystery Somehow Can Break In To The Ordinary. And We Read Poetry I Think In Part, To Gain A Sense Of That Intimacy With Things That We Can't Understand That Are Unable To Be Understood But That Buoy Up Our Lives.

Having Other Comedians Complimenting My Work Is The Biggest Accolade That I Can Get.

Divine Love, Agape, Is Self-sacrificing Love, Which Sounds Difficult, As It Is, And Not Very Attractive. If The Best Image We Have Of Love Is Of A Man Who's Been Tortured And Hung Upon A Cross To Die An Excruciating Death, This Is Something That Human Beings Find Very, Very Hard To Understand As Love. But It Is The Highest Christian Image Of Love.

Dialogue Means Debates And Everyone's Point Of View.

Men Are Like Lions. We Hunt.

I've Done Auditions Where The Casting Director Is Taking The Paper Out Of My Hand In The Middle Of Reading.

I Can Get Where Some Scientists Would Say Comedians Are Crazy. What You Have To Understand: A Lot Of Comedians Are Dealing With A Dark Passion. A Lot Of These Are Guys Coming From A Tumultuous Life, Including Myself. Some People Need Outlets, A Way To Express Yourself.

You've Gotta Understand That With Branding And The Way Things Are Promoted, In Our Day And Age, Your Older Movie Stars Are Not Reachable Or Accessible Because They're Not A Part Of The Whole Social Media World.

I Don't Have To Change Anything. I Think That's The Secret To Comedy. You Want To Be Universal And Appeal To Everyone. You Want To Put Yourself In A Position That No Matter What You're Talking About, Everyone Can Relate To It And Understand It, Because It's An Experience That Everyone Can Go Through. That's What I Pattern My Writing Material And Jokes After. I'm Trying To Maintain A Level Of Realness That My Fans Can Appreciate.

'best Man Holiday' Was A Very Successful Film.

Relationships Are Like Farting, If You Push Too Hard Things Could Get Messy Real Fast.

I Feel Like I Have A Job To Do, Like I Constantly Have To Reinvent Myself. The More I Up The Ante For Myself, The Better It Is In The Long Run. I Try To Interact With My Fans As Much As Possible. It's Good That The Person I'm Being Onstage Isn't Really An Act. It's Really Me.

The Most Important Thing For A Director Is Being Able To Communicate. When You Communicate Comfortably, Regardless Of What You're Saying, It Can Always Be Processed.

Life Is Too Short

I Love That I Can Tell The Truth And Have People Laugh At It.

Telling The Truth

When You Have Box-office Results, Hollywood Treats You Different. Hollywood Stands Up. Once You Get To The Point Where Hollywood Sees That You Create Results, Then The Demand For You Becomes Higher.

I Know How Easy It Is To Put Your Foot In Your Mouth.

You Definitely Want Your Kids To Understand Their Heritage, But I Don't Want My Kids To Just Focus On Being Black. They Are People. I Don't Want Them To Judge Other People Or To Be Judged. I Want Them To Be Good People, So Good People Will Treat Them Accordingly. I Preach That To My Kids And Everything Else Falls Into Place.

The Thing About Impressing Your Girlfriend Is That When You Do Something Like A Private Island In Fiji, It's All Downhill From That Point.

I Like Playing Basketball And Going To The Gym. I Don't Box, But I'll Ride My Bike And Go Jogging Or Running In The Park. Sometimes My Lady And I Go Hiking.

When I Was In My Early 20s I Converted To Catholicism After A Long Period Of Searching. What I Think Drew Me To The Catholic Church Is That In Catholicism, Prayer Suffuses All Of One's Life By Virtue Of The Sacraments. Prayer Is Not Something Which Occurs Just On Sunday, It Doesn't Occur Only At Particular Moments Of Intensity Or By Particular Conventions, One's Whole Life Is Given Up To Prayer In Many, Many Modes. And So Everything To Do With The Faith Is Trying To Put You In Relationship With God And Trying To Make That Relationship Grow Deeper And More Mature.

I Shouldn't Have To Ask For Your Permission For Me To Put You In My Lie!

My Mom Was Very Strict. She Didn't Let Me Watch Anything Rated R Or Anything With Cussing.

I Wanna Produce, Write, And Direct My Own Projects, And Eventually Fund Them. I Wanna Be A Mogul.

The Most Important Thing For A Director Is Being Able To Communicate.

I Don't See How People Are Comfortable With Seeing Other People Be Great. You Can Be Happy For Anybody, But What Is Your Excuse To Not Want To Be Great? These People Are Great Because They Just Say, 'i'ma Do That,' And They Do It. That's It. There's No Scientifical Process.

I Go Onstage And I Talk, And I Remember What I'm Saying, And I Track It.

The Relationship We Have With God Is Not The Same Over A Life; Sometimes, As With Human Relationships, It Goes Through Bad Patches And Sometimes It Becomes Very Intense. It Is A Terrifying Thing To Have A Relationship With One's Creator, To Spend One's Life So That One Is Trying To Converge With One's Creator Seems An Extraordinarily Difficult And Sublime Thing. But At The Same Time It's Extremely Simple. One Of The Things Which Perpetually Amazes Me Is That At Any Moment Or Any Day, Anyone Who Is Alive Can Talk With The Creator Of The Cosmos.

I'm Not Going To Stop Having Problems.

My Lady Makes Me Do It. I Sang Whitney Houston's "bodyguard".

My Upbringing Was Solid Because Of The People I Had Around Me.

There's Actually A Lot Of Bullshit In My Google Search. They Killed Me In One Of Them! I Died In One Of My Google Searches.

The Worst Thing About Being Lied To, Is Realizing They Don't Think You're Worth The Truth.

I Don't Take Pictures When I'm With My Kids, For The Sake Of My Kids. It's Important When You're As Busy As I Am That You Give Your Kids Your Time When You're With Them, And Nothing Compromises That. I've Been Lucky Enough To Have Fans That Understand That.

What You Find I Think In The Mystical Strain Of Catholicism Is That You're Put In Relationship With God, And You Have Many Opportunities Not Only Of Talking With God In Petitionary Prayer, But Also Of Listening To God, Being Attentive To God, As Happens In Contemplation.

Almost Anything Can Be Funny If Said The Right Way - But It Has To Be Said The Right Way.

The One Thing About The Business Of Entertainment Is That You Have To Learn Patience.

Really, I Don't Like Roller Coasters.

When People Get Married Young, You Don't Really Understand The True Definition Of Marriage.

I Can Honestly Say, After Talking About My Mom Passing Away, I Got The Biggest Weight Off Of My Chest. Comedy Is My Therapy. That's How I Deal With My Problems, My Personal Battles. I Talk About It. I Give It To My Fans. When They Laugh At It, It's A Release, For Lack Of A Better Word.

The Movies And All That Stuff Are Great, But The Fact That I'm In A Position To Do What I Want To Do, However I Want To Do It And When I Want To Do It Is Bigger.

My Dad Was Never Married. He Was Kind Of A Rolling Stone. But He Was Never Disrespectful. At The Same Time, Even Though He Had Women In His Life When I Was A Kid, There Wasn't Any Consistency.

I Get That Racism Exists, But It's Not A Catalyst For My Content. I Don't Need To Talk About Race To Have Material. My Style Of Comedy Is More Self-deprecating. I Think That Makes Me More Relatable. When You Deal With 'topics' - Race, White Versus Black - You're Not Separating From The Pack. You're Doing What Everybody Else Is Doing.

You Don't Want To Pigeonhole Yourself.

My Twitter Reflects What's Going On With Me In My Life.

I Want To Reach The Status Of Becoming A Mogul. And The Only Way You Get There Is By Work.

I'm Pretty Much An Open Book. I've Pretty Much Talked About Anything I'm Going Through Onstage. Between Interviews And Curious Fans, I've Been Asked Everything. And I Always Give Answers. I Don't Shy Away From Anything.

I'm A Buffalo Wing Magnet, A Sandwich Fanatic, A Cheesesteak Guy. But I'll Only Get A Cheesesteak In Philadelphia. No One Else Does It Right.

People Who Eat With Their Mouth Open Should Be Punched In The Face.

When I Was Married, I Definitely Went Through A Lying Period.

I Think Poetry Has Started To Take On A Supplementary Role Of Prayer For Some People. The Churches, I Think, Including My Own, Are Terrible At Teaching People How To Pray. It May Be That We Need To Learn From The Ground Up As Religious People, Whether Christian Or Not, How To Pray.

I'm Good Friends With Jay Leno, Good Friends With Ed O'neill, Melanie Fiona And Russell Simmons.

The Most Exciting Thing In The World To Me Is That I'm Doing What I Love To Do, And That I'm Successful Doing It. Pursuing My Dream And Executing It Is Exciting To Me.

When You're Coming Up With New Material, It's Not Always Gonna Be Good. The Only Way To Learn Is For It Not To Get A Laugh, So You Can Adjust It And Come Back The Next Day To See If It's Working Right. Next Time, You Might Get A Different Laugh. You're Constantly Rebuilding.

Some People Love So Hard That They Can't Control Those Emotions When They're At Their Deepest Point.

I Learned From The Guys Before Me - Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Richard Pryor, Just To Name A Few. These Are Guys That Let It All Hang Out. What They Lived Is What They Took To The Stage.

I Don't Use Twitter For Bad.

The Kind Of Love That God Has For Us, I Think, Is Of An Infinite Longing For Union, And The Kind Of Love That God Wants Us To Have For Him, I Think, Is Of This Also Endless Longing. Now In Eros We Lose Ourselves. I Think Erotic Love Transforms Us, But It Does So Only Momentarily. It Has To Be Embedded In Something Much Longer, A Much Bigger Narrative Called Marriage Or Durable Relationship Or Something Like That.

I Like The Fact That Now My Understanding For Entertainment And The Entertainment Business Is Completely Different From What It Was When I First Came In. I Get The Business Side Of It.

My Show 'the Big House' Was Picked Up; They Flew Me To New York. I'm About To Step On Stage To Announce 's 'the Big House.' And A Hand Grabs My Shoulder, 'kevin No, They Just Decided To Cancel It.' It's A Serious Smack-in-the-face Business, And Either You Can Take It, Or You Can't.

You See Some Of The Weirdest People In Detroit Casinos.

It's A Well-known Fact That Tall People Are Evil.

Ever Argue With A Female And, In The Middle Of The Argument, You No Longer Feel Safe Because Of Her Actions? She May Start Pacing Back And Forth Real Fast, Breathing Out Her Nose. You Know What My Girl Do? When She Get Mad, She Start Talking In The Third Person. That's Scary As Hell Because That's Her Way Of Telling Me That From This Point On, She Is Not Responsible For None Of Her Actions.

When Obstacles Have Been Put In Front Of Me, I Just Get Around Them And Move Past Them And Laugh At Them.

I Didn't Work Hard To Sit Down And Not Work.

The Funny Thing Is, All My Friends Are Short. I Wasn't Aware Of Tall People Till I Got To High School. I Didn't Know They Existed. I Was Sheltered.

I'm Trying To Maintain A Level Of Realness That My Fans Can Appreciate.

The Best Feeling In The World Is Seeing The Benefits And Rewards Of Hard Work.

I Stayed True To My Dreams And, Eventually, They Came True.

People Want To Act Like They Know Celebrities. They Want To See Pictures. They Want To Know Where You're Going. They Want To Hear You Talk About Your Family.

My Success Comes In Making Fun Of Whatever You're Doing. That's My Way.

I Didn't Want To Lift Weights And Get All Big; I Just Wanted To Get Cut.

I Think Death Is Not Simply The Last Few Moments Of Life, Death Is Something That Runs Throughout The Whole Of Life. Each Of Our Moments Is Not Only The Possibility Of Affirmation, But It's Also We're Saying Farewell At Each Moment To Something.

Being Humble Matters.

I Love Making People Laugh. And I Love Laughing.

Everybody Wants To Be Famous, But Nobody Wants To Do The Work. I Live By That. You Grind Hard So You Can Play Hard. At The End Of The Day, You Put All The Work In, And Eventually It'll Pay Off. It Could Be In A Year, It Could Be In 30 Years. Eventually, Your Hard Work Will Pay Off.

Some Sarcasm Is Best Told Simply. Some Humor Is Best Told Big And Some Is Best Told Small.

I Don't Know About Other People, But I Love To Work.

Take Me And My Role Seriously. Take My Talent Seriously.

If You Want To Appeal To Everyone, You Can't Do A World Tour And Expect Black People To Show Up At Every Date - When You're In Australia, When You're In Dubai, When You're In Indonesia.

I Think If Someone Gets Kicked In The Face It Is Their Fault- They Watched The Foot Come Towards Their Face.

Every Relationship Should Eventually Become A Long-term Relationship. Any Director That I Meet Now Isn't Just A Director. He's Potentially A Friend, And Someone I Can Call To Do A Project That I Want Or That I Have. That's What I Mean When I Say Branding And Developing Yourself, As A Business.

I Love Soft-cotton White T-shirts.

I Don't Think You Get Successful To Brag And Throw What You Have In The World's Face. That's All Private.

Any Hand That I’ve Shaken, Any Person That I Met When I Was Joe Blow, Now That I’m This Guy Kevin Hart, Has Come Back. That’s Why I Treat Everybody With Respect. I’m Always A Nice Pleasant Guy To Meet Because When They Come Back To You, They Remember.

Laughter Heals All Wounds, And That's One Thing That Everybody Shares. No Matter What You're Going Through, It Makes You Forget About Your Problems. I Think The World Should Keep Laughing.

There Seems To Be Something Poetically That Doesn't Work Or Is Limiting When You Call God 'god' In A Poem. When I Tried To Be Honest With Myself In My Relationship With God, Christ Is, On The One Hand, Completely Dark, He's Transcendent And Unknown. On The Other Hand, He Is Completely Imminent And Completely Knowable As Jesus. Our Tradition Speaks Of Him In Both Ways As Transcendent But Also As A Lover Who Comes To Us, And The Two Word 'dark One' Seem To Me To Contain Both Things, The Transcendence And Otherness Of Christ, But Also Like A Kind Of Dark Lover Who Comes To Us.

If You're My Bestfriend I Shouldn't Have To Ask You To Lie For Me.

My Kids Are Coming Up In A Different Time Then Me. Interracial Couples Are Of The Norm. With Me, It's About Making Sure My Kids Understand The Importance Of Education And Having Opportunities That I Didn't. My Goal As A Parent Is To Make Sure They Don't Take What They Have For Granted.

I Am Who I Am. That's Why My Friends And Peers Respect And Appreciate Me. I Don't Change Or Cater My Actions To Fit My Surroundings. I'm Myself 24/7. People Appreciate That.

I Promise You, I Will Have Something On The Internet That Is Game-changing. I Can't Lose.

The Same Thing I Did In 2013 Is What I'm Trying To Do In 2014, Which Is Continue To Improve, Continue To Shock People. You Know, I Have Several Projects Coming Up Between 2014 And 2015, And Hopefully By 2015, I'll Have Another Hour Of Stand-up Material Where I'll Be Able To Go On The Road And Tour Again.

Sports Are Basically Our Way Of Feeling Sorry For Ourselves. Most Men Can't Become Athletes. We're Watching Guys Who Actually Made It. We See Them Dunking And Making Touchdowns. Then We Think About Ourselves When We Were Younger.

Just Because Your Environment Or Living Space Changes Doesn't Mean That Your Attitude Necessarily Has To Change.

I Don't Like To Hear Woman Argue...it Makes My Balls Itch.

Everything Is An Open Book. I Don't Speak On Other People's Hardship, But If It Happened In My Life Or Something That Has Been An Experience On My Particular Journey, I'm Going To Talk About It. That's What My Fan Base Appreciates The Most. I'm Universal. You Can Relate To The Things I Say Or That I Go Through.

People May Hate You For Being Different And Not Living By Society's Standards,but Deep Down,they Wish They Had The Courage To Do The Same.

Being Different

I Think, First Of All, I Don't Think People Understand Ice Cube's Body Of Work. Ice Cube Is A, And I Hate To Use The Word 'urban' But - When You Think Of Judd Apatow, And A Person Who's Launched So Many Careers, Ice Cube Has Done That For So Many Comedians, You Know?

I Just Want To Be A Great Example To Younger Kids.
