The one thing about the business of entertainment is that you have to learn patience.

I ain't never called nobody no redskin. I've never been mad, like, 'Get out of this restaurant, you redskin.'

I'm trying to do what Eddie Murphy did for his generation. You have to show people, 'I'm different. I'm not just a comedian.' I'm trying to become a rock star.

I love being on stage, I love being able to tell a story, I love the fact that the audience listens and laughs at it. It makes me happy, and it's what I live for.

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

I try to be funny and not ignorant.

Comedy Central was a great network, but 'Chappelle's Show' took it to a completely different level. Other shows got bigger because so many viewers were watching the 'Chappelle' reruns. For BET, the 'Real Husbands of Hollywood' has that same potential.
