Paul Mooney Quotes

I always drop in some history. It’s knowledge. There’s always a message in my comedy and you may not get it that night – it’s like time bombs. It’ll get you a week later. You’ll understand.

[on Dave Chappelle] Dave’s a lot like Richard [Pryor]. He’s an artist first, everything else is secondary. They offered him $50 million, but the money didn’t mean anything. Dave knew money was an illusion. You can’t take it with you. You’ve never seen a Brink’s truck following a hearse, and you never will.
