My dad worked every day. I didn't get into show business to work every day. So the fact that most days I get to like, spend really good time with my kids - that's what success is to me.

Chris RockI've told Michael Jackson jokes. If you got really technical, you could say those are jokes about child molestation. You could, if you got technical. A lot of this is just selective outrage because honestly, the audience are the ones that tell us that something shouldn't be spoken. The audience lets us know. And I've never, in my almost 30 years of being a comedian, seen a comedian continue to tell a joke that the audience doesn't respond to. I've never seen it.
Chris RockKids always act up the most before they go to sleep. And when I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racismโs almost over. Because this is the last - this is the act up before the sleep. Theyโre going crazy. Theyโre insane. You want to get rid of them - and the next thing you know, theyโre fucking knocked out. And thatโs whatโs going on in the country right now.
