You can't get unfamous. You can get infamous but you can't get unfamous.
Dave Chappelle
Image
Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.
Dave Chappelle
Image
The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.

Something about New York, man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you're interested in being funny, New York is the place to go.

America, I appreciate you liking me.

Ralph Nader has slavery reparations on his platform, which makes me think he's not serious. If he thought he could win he wouldn't even say that.

Image
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.

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 just always loved stand-up. It's like magic. You say something, and a whole room full of people laughs together. Say something else, they laugh again. The fact that people come to see that and participate in that... I don't know, it's just like magic.
Dave Chappelle
Image
There's something about doing stand-up that's cathartic.
Dave Chappelle
Image
I have a very good life, a high quality of life. I have both money and time. No one has that.
Dave Chappelle
Image
I enjoy my own thoughts sometimes.
Dave Chappelle
Image
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

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.

I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.

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

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.
