Everyone around me says, You're a genius! You're great! That's your voice! But I'm not sure if they're right.
Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds.

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.
Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
I'm an introspective dude.
Dave Chappelle
Every black American is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak 'job interview.'
Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.
Dave Chappelle
I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.
Dave Chappelle
I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.
Dave Chappelle
All white people talk about when they get high is other times that they got high.
Dave Chappelle
Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.
Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
