More quotes by Danny Glover
The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans. A revolt from people who were stolen from their land or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, that's what the genesis of the Second Amendment is.
Danny Glover
Democracy is about criticism.
Danny Glover
What happened to Haiti is a threat that could happen anywhere in the Caribbean to these island nations, you know, because of global warming, because of climate change and all this.
Danny Glover
Since 1957, black people have experienced double-digit unemployment - in good times and bad times. Look at the population of African Americans in prison. They represent more than half the population of prisoners in the country, 55 percent of those on death row
Danny Glover
If we talk about the environment, for example, we have to talk about environmental racism - about the fact that kids in South Central Los Angeles have a third of the lung capacity of kids in Santa Monica.
Danny Glover
We're trying to tell stories. We're a company that's concerned with global change and the effect of global cinema. We're not simply tied to the very limiting framework of U.S. film-making.
Danny Glover
Just look at the cinema itself: It's comprised of lots of movies about graphic novels, and if you're not 20 years old and wearing a cape and a mask and white, you're out of business. Today's cinema is a proliferation of comedies, which are in some ways creating caricature images. They're one-dimensional.
Danny Glover
My theatrical background was in the great work of the South African playwright Athol Fugard.
Danny Glover
When someone you know passes on, the only thing you can do is keep moving forward.
Danny Glover
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
Danny Glover
It's a misconception to believe that the resistance ended with the civil rights movement.
Danny Glover
I've always been able to make choices that don't embarrass me.
Danny Glover
Mother Earth is in pain and ailing because of global warming.
Danny Glover
Popular literature and culture used to reflect people's aspirations, pain, and passion. All those particular things are no longer available to us.
Danny Glover
We have to be that wedge that drives the question and asks the hard questions
Danny Glover
One of the main purveyors of violence in this world has been this country America.
Danny Glover
Hollywood is designed to check the box office on Monday morning and see: How'd we do? How much? It's another facet of this whole culture of accumulation and consumption. Black people are caught up in it, white people are caught up in it, white actors, black actors, female actresses - everybody's caught up in it.
Danny Glover
We live in a climate of fear, and because of this whole ideology of consumption almost to the point of religion.
Danny Glover
The civil rights movement didn't deal with the issue of political disenfranchisement in the Northern cities. It didn't deal with the issues that were happening in places like Detroit, where there was a deep process of deindustrialization going on.
Danny Glover
Art is about the dynamics of the human experience.
