Dave Chappelle

“Modern problems require modern solutions.”

“You can't get un-famous. You can get infamous. You can get unknown.”

“Every black American is bilingual. All of them. We speak street vernacular and we speak 'job interview'.”

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

“The world can't tell you who you are. You've got to figure that out for yourself.”

“Constantly take inventory of what's important to you.”

“The only way to know if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

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

“If you don't have the right people around you and you're moving at a million miles an hour you can lose yourself.”

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”

“I'm famous today. People like me today. But where I come from, I'm not famous. I'm Dave.”

“The corner is a lonely place. But the view from the corner is spectacular.”

“I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?”

“You know, you can't be a pimp and a prostitute at the same time.”

“You've got to be careful of the company you keep.”
