WHEN YOU MEET SOMEBODY FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU’RE NOT MEETING THEM. YOU’RE MEETING THEIR REPRESENTATIVE Picture Quote #1

Here’s the thing. When we talk about race relations in America or racial progress, it’s all nonsense. There are no race relations. White people were crazy. Now they’re not as crazy.

A lot of comics aren’t their on-screen personas; Chris Rock isn’t always ranting and raving. What I do is make myself this over-the-top character that people either find endearing or they think is a joke. Then I can do anything I want Picture Quote #1

I was influenced by a lot of stand-up comedians... Eddie Murphy back when he was doing ‘Raw.’ I watched that so many times as a kid, I can probably still quote the entire thing to this day. Chris Rock. Dave Chappelle. George Carlin. A lot of the guys who were sort of edgy for their time Picture Quote #1

When you’re onstage with Chris Rock, anything can happen. He is one of the greatest comic geniuses we’ve ever seen Picture Quote #1

People are the same wherever you go. And if they weren’t, they wouldn’t laugh at the same s**t Picture Quote #1

My dad worked every day. I didn’t get into show business to work every day. So the fact that most days I get to like, spend really good time with my kids - that’s what success is to me Picture Quote #1

Black people have been qualified to be president for hundreds of years. George Washington Carver could have been president. I could go on with a list of black men that were qualified to be the president of the United States. So the Obama victory is progress for white people Picture Quote #1

I just thought everybody lived around abandoned buildings and crack-heads, ... I lived in the ghetto until I was like 19. I came to Los Angeles, stayed at hotels and stuff. When I got back and I saw what my neighborhood looked like, I started getting scared Picture Quote #1

I like talking about subjects that aren’t funny in the first place and making them funny. So anything down and depressing is something I’ll talk about Picture Quote #1
