The only thing harder than leaving show business is coming back.
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
Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make. You know, so a celebrity could find themselves in a position where people could have meetings about their life without them involved. And when I say their life I mean not their professional life either. They could talk about their personal life.

I'm an introspective dude.
Dave Chappelle
I get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear - I'm not mad at anybody - not anymore.

Dave Chappelle
I don't care if I ever work in TV again.
Dave Chappelle
Comedians by and large are some of the most sensitive people on earth. Even if they're socially callous.
Dave Chappelle
I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.
Dave Chappelle
Chivalry is dead. Women killed it.
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
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
