Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make.

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?
Dave Chappelle

I don't care if I ever work in TV again.

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.

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.

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 have all these weird fantasies. Going coast-to-coast on my motorcycle and having random barbecues all over America. No show, no nothing.
