More quotes by 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.

President [Barack] Obama is a man who had certain advantages because of the civil rights movement.
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
I have the capacity to express what I feel needs to be expressed. And I try to do what I believe in.
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
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

It's also important for those who promote those issues within the white community - the somewhat privileged community - to talk about issues affecting people of color.
Danny Glover
I've always been able to make choices that don't embarrass me.
Danny Glover
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
Danny Glover
We have to be that wedge that drives the question and asks the hard questions
Danny Glover
If we look at Houston, which is a very environmentally toxic place, we find that it has one of the highest levels of young men going to prison and also among the highest levels of illiteracy in the country.
Danny Glover
President Obama is a man who had certain advantages because of the civil rights movement. He had the opportunity to go to some of the best schools in this country - schools that train you how to run the political paradigm, not challenge it. The leaders of the Black Power Movement were challenging that paradigm.
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
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
Art is about the dynamics of the human experience.

One of the main purveyors of violence in this world has been this country America.
