“Every black American is bilingual. All of us. We speak street vernacular and we speak job interview. There’s a certain way I got to speak to have access. If I’m sitting across a table from a studio exec., you know, sometimes they’ll do it to me. ‘Say my man! What’s happening!” I’ll say, “Hold up. Hold up. No no no no no.” And I got to throw out them big words. I got to let them know that my parents are probably smarter than your parents, much better educated than your parents, but they may not have had the access that your parents have. But this is show business. I can climb that socioeconomical ladder just off the merit of my skills. I can talk that shit. It’s a God given gift.”

Dave Chappelle
