More quotes by 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.
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 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 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 just like seeing people. I just like meeting people. I like finding out new walks of life and new ideas.

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
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
Who goes from America to Africa for medical attention?
Dave Chappelle
Weed's not as bad as everything else... 'cause weed is a background substance. You know what I mean, you can smoke some herb and still function. You ain't crisp... but you'll function.
Dave Chappelle
I have all these weird fantasies. Going coast-to-coast on my motorcycle and having random barbecues all over America. No show, no nothing.
Dave Chappelle
The language you are about to hear... is disturbing.
Dave Chappelle
I think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it.
Dave Chappelle
I got a lot of positive people around me.
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.
Dave Chappelle
I'm an introspective dude.
Dave Chappelle
The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.
Dave Chappelle
I don't care if I ever work in TV again.
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
I felt in a lot of instances I was deliberately being put through stress because when you're a guy who generates money, people have a vested interest in controlling you.
