Whether it means having a show, or a movie, or just being on a stage, I need an avenue to say what I have to say.
From Dave Chappelle
Stand-up is the kind of gig that'll show you where you're at.
After a while, a joke, if you say it too much, just becomes contrived, or fake-sounding.
Something about New York, man: You can do more comedy there probably than you can anywhere in the world. If you're interested in being funny, New York is the place to go.
I'm famous today. People like me today. Might not like me tomorrow. You can't count on 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.
You can't get unfamous. You can get infamous but you can't get unfamous.
My generation is under-entertained.
People don't know what it's like standing up there onstage, when you have a wall of people smiling at you.
My father told me 'Name your price in the beginning. If it ever gets more expensive than the price you name, get out of there.'
