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

Dave Chappelle
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
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 got a lot of positive people around me.
Dave Chappelle
The higher up I went, the less happy I was.

I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.
Dave Chappelle
You can't get unfamous. You can get infamous but you can't get unfamous.
Dave Chappelle
You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.

The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching.
