More quotes by 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.

For one year, I want to do this thing where I guest-star on as many television shows as I possibly can. I love television. The fact that television ultimately made me famous was very gratifying for me.
Dave Chappelle
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.

Comedians by and large are some of the most sensitive people on earth. Even if they're socially callous.
