The Sagacity of
Chris Rock

A rude, hilarious, brilliant preacher-wisecracker.

     Actually, I think all addiction starts with soda. Every junkie did soda first. But no one counts that. Maybe they should. The soda connection is clear. Why isn't a presidential commission looking into this? Or at least some guys from the National Carbonation Council.

     We were so poor my daddy unplugged the clocks when we went to bed.

      Charlie Brown is the one person I identify with. C.B. is such a loser. He wasn't even the star of his own Halloween special.

      I think doctors make too much money, you know why? Because they don't cure anything. Everything they cured, they cured 50 years ago. They ain't cured anything in a long time, man, you know, diseases are piling up, man, we've cancer, sicacell, and Geri's Kids still limping around. Come on, Man, get rid of something. (From "Saturday Night Live")

     Only thing I know about Africa is that it's far far away. A 35 hour flight. Imagine the boat ride. The boat ride is so long that there's still slaves on their way here!

     Aw, man, they gave 'em the Oscar on stage. Next they're gonna give the Oscars in the parking lot. It'll be like a drive-through Oscar lane. You get an Oscar and a McFlurry and keep on moving.

     Gay people got a right to be as miserable as everybody else.

     I love music. Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life.

     Why do people do yoga? To clear their minds? I embrace the clutter in my head.

     I don't get high, but sometimes I wish I did. That way, when I messed up in life I would have an excuse. But right now there's no rehab for stupidity.

     Right now, my job is that I'm like an ambulance chaser. I've got to look for movies with white guys falling out of them.

     There are people who would like to get rid of minimum wage. But we have to have it, because if we didn't some people would not get paid money. They would work all week for two loaves of bread and some Spam.

     Every town has the same two malls: the one white people go to and the one white people used to go to.

     You don't pay taxes - they take taxes.

     Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know?
