Dude, I didn't say Jude Law can't act. I didn't say Jude Law was in bad movies. I just said he's in every movie.

My mother is the kind of woman you don't want to be in line behind at the supermarket. She has coupons for coupons.

Stand-up is the only career like that where once you get really big at it, people kind of encourage you not to do it.

When people try to read between the lines - critics, they have a job. Their job is to make something bigger than it is.

I see guys who can't make 10 percent of what I make, and yet they have four Bentleys, three houses, and four bodyguards.

I'm severely overrated. I'm just above a hack. That should be the name of my new DVD: 'Chris Rock: Slightly Above Hack'.

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.

Just to be clear, Ray Rice was not fired for beating his wife. He was fired because a video of him beating his wife was released.

I love having somebody there - that companion thing. You know who you're going to eat with, who you're going to see a movie with.
