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

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

Dave Chappelle
You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.
Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
Comedians by and large are some of the most sensitive people on earth. Even if they're socially callous.
Dave Chappelle
I'm Dave Chappelle and I'm a chronic masturbator.
Dave Chappelle
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
The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching.
Dave Chappelle
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.
Dave Chappelle
