Comedians by and large are some of the most sensitive people on earth. Even if they're socially callous.
People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.
The mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete, and everything after you bears your mark.
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 interested in controlling you.

One of the things that happens when people make the leap from a certain amount of money to tens of millions of dollars is that the people around you dramatically change.
I'm Dave Chappelle and I'm a chronic masturbator.
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.
My wife asked me once if I weren't a comedian what I would do. I couldn't answer the question. I never imagined doing anything else.
I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.

They do what they do for money - that's all. I don't even know why you're listening to me. I've done commercials for both Coke and Pepsi. Truth is, I can't even taste the difference, but Pepsi paid me last, so there it is.
I think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it.
Hey hey hey, smoke weed everyday
