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.
Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
The higher up I went, the less happy I was.
Dave Chappelle
I don't do drugs, though. Just weed.

You've got to say 'yes' to your destiny. Life's happening right now, look around you. There goes some life. Come on, Mamma, live!
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
The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.
Dave Chappelle
I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.
