And that's why I love my art form,
Because I understand every practitioner of it.
Whether I agree with them or not,
I know where they're coming from.
They want to be heard.
They got something to say.
There's something they noticed. They just want to be understood.
Love this genre. It saved my life.
Comedians, Actors And why does Dave Chappelle finally went to
Compton After hearing?
I can come up with a couple of things.
I think you know Dave is probably should have won
this award probably.
Seven times in his career.
And I'm just so grateful,
Dave, that I got to meet you before I had
my daughter.
No, that's a good thing because you taught me how
to be a better man.
You teach me how to be a better man.
He's not just a comedian.
That's the way that he channels that knowledge and that
process.
What he is, is he's the Black Bourdain.
He's a man that seeks out people and experience and
knowledge,
and he wants to touch it and feel it and
be with it on the ground.
So that he can then channel that through his art
and redirect that back to you as something completely different
and new.
And it's revolutionary and it's everything that an artist process.
Should be.
