Dave Chappelle

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

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 enjoy my own thoughts sometimes.

I love being famous - it's phenomenal.

I got real important relationships in my life that are very empowering relationships.

I love my jokes.

I love Ohio.

I'm cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.

You know, be able to do something great in your life, you're gonna have to realize your failures. You're gonna have to embrace them and figure out how to overcome it.

When I'm on stage, I get real happy there. Maybe that's the only time in my adult life I feel like myself.

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

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