More quotes by Dave Chappelle

I don't want the money. I don't want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again.
Dave Chappelle
Fame for me is like a place, a country I'm taking a tour through.
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 think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it.
Dave Chappelle

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

You can't get unfamous. You can get infamous but you can't get unfamous.
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
The higher up I went, the less happy I was.
