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.

Danny Glover
One of the main purveyors of violence in this world has been this country America.
Danny Glover
Art is about the dynamics of the human experience.
Danny Glover
The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America. Those are moments that we have to celebrate: that people still find the resolve and energy to resist
Danny Glover
Mother Earth is in pain and ailing because of global warming.
Danny Glover
