Dave Chappelle Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Dave Chappelle:

The language you are about to hear... is disturbing.

Most of the people around me have a vested interest in how much money I make. You know, so a celebrity could find themselves in a position where people could have meetings about their life without them involved. And when I say 'their life' I mean not their professional life either. They could talk about their personal life.

The way the people around you position themselves around you to get in your pockets and in your mind is infuriating to me.

Dave Chappelle

There's a lot of people who don't want anything from me but to laugh and have a good time. You see them at the show and they like - they dress up to come see your show and stuff. And they pack these auditoriums and it's a lot of fun, man. It's like, this is how I started, and it's still fun for me.

Dave Chappelle

Comedy is a very approval-oriented field.

Dave Chappelle

I just always loved stand-up. It's like magic. You say something, and a whole room full of people laughs together. Say something else, they laugh again. The fact that people come to see that and participate in that... I don't know, it's just like magic.

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.

Dave Chappelle

I think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it.

Dave Chappelle

I don't normally talk about my religion publicly because I don't want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way.

If I put forth a legitimate effort, then I feel like, if that doesn't work out, that's all I can do.

The language you are about to hear... is disturbing.

Dave Chappelle

I 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 Chappelle

There's something about doing stand-up that's cathartic.

Dave Chappelle

Being famous is great, it's not like bad or horrible or anything.

I care about the work I do. But I'm not going to say that money's not an issue.

Dave Chappelle

Everyone around me says, You're a genius! You're great! That's your voice! But I'm not sure if they're right.

Fame for me is like a place, a country I'm taking a tour through.

Dave Chappelle

I've done 10 or 11 pilots for network television, which is ridiculous.

Dave Chappelle

I got a lot of positive people around me.

Dave Chappelle

I don't want the money. I don't want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again.

Because I was surrounded by so much negativity at some point that it took me going back and doing stand-up to realize, you know, people really like me.

Dave Chappelle

The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching.

I 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.

I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.

I've been a comedian since I was fourteen. But I've never really been a CEO.

I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds.

Dave Chappelle

The only thing harder than leaving show business is coming back.
