## Summary

The new coverage adds Chris Rock’s reflections on his future in stand-up and filmmaking, while he says he wants attention on his work rather than the 2022 Oscars slap. He has scripts, television projects and a book in progress, and plans to keep writing.

Rock said he may perform stand-up again if he feels he can still “get separation” from other comedians, but has not announced plans. He said he stopped watching pornography five or six years ago and went to therapy while rebuilding his personal life after divorcing Malaak Compton-Rock, his wife of 19 years. His film *Misty Green* is scheduled to arrive on Netflix on 9 November.
