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.
Dave ChappelleI want to tell my jokes. I want to have time with my children. I want to entertain people. And at one point, I'll walk away from show business. But I don't want to walk away empty-handed.
Dave ChappelleI get a little heated when I talk about the past. But I wanted to be clear - I'm not mad at anybody - not anymore.
Dave ChappelleI'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.
Dave ChappelleThe biggest enemy of an artist is apathy... A kid gets killed by the police and I buy a T-shirt and before I can wear that one, there's another kid (killed) and I'm running out of closet space.
Dave ChappelleIf 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.
