Dave Chappelle Quotes

The girl says Oh uh-uh, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a whore! Which is true, Gentlemen, that is true. Just because they dress a certain way doesn't mean they are a certain way. Don't even forget it. But ladies, you must understand that is fucking confusing. It just is. Now that would be like me, Dave Chappelle, the comedian, walking down the street in a cop uniform. Somebody might run up on me saying, Oh, thank God. Officer, help us! Come on. They're over here. Help us! Oh-hoh! Just because I'm dressed this way does not make me a police officer! See what I mean? All right, ladies, fine. You are not a whore. But you are wearing a whore's uniform.

I felt in a lot of instances I was deliberately being put through stress because when you're a guy who generates money, people have a vested interested in controlling you.

~ Dave Chappelle

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.
