I think we should all be more concerned about the environment and the effects of global warming. It will be pointless to talk about all the issues that divide us when it's 300 degrees outside.

I imagine it was much different in the 1970s. That was the Renaissance for black actors, albeit in blaxploitation movies. There was a much greater preponderance of work then than there is now.

Many of my friends and family are scratching it out somewhere decidedly south of the ever widening gap between the haves and have nots, looking at losing their homes, colleges they can't afford and healthcare they can't avail themselves of.

I think having good family and friends really helps to ground you.

We're really trying to give people the ability to go into a darkened room and have a couple hours of just pure enjoyment.

One thing that you consistently see everywhere is that the poor and the under-represented are always the ones who are going to suffer the most and get the short end of the stick.

The best thing that I learned from the best directors that I worked with is that the best answer wins. They are ego-less when it comes to doing the most important thing.

One truth that I know for sure, for me anyway, is that the more you know, the more you realize that you don't know.

Kids clearly help center you because you can't impress your kids. People are like, Oh, are they so excited because you're Ironman? My kids couldn't care less. They like it when I hang out and play dad. I impress them by playing video games with them and doing well. Your kids humble you.

It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.

If anyone ever said biopic I would say, It's not a biopic. We're fighting uphill against the weight of history. I was like, why don't we just call it historical fiction?

So often when Black men have to play roles on TV, we're either the noble savage or we're completely a savage, and there's no nuance.
Don Cheadle
Image
We're always trailing, as far as the amount of roles that are written for us and the films that are being made that have black characters in them. I don't know if that's going to change.
Don Cheadle
Image
I think that it's much more important to do than to say. And you learn that a lot from your kids, who are watching you, you know?
Don Cheadle
Image
I've never been a part of a film before that offers such a platform into real issues, that raises social awareness and has the potential to change things.

You should do what you're supposed to do and hope that that ripples out.

Every time I've learned something, I've realized there are a hundred more things I don't know about the thing I just learned.

Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.

Living by example - that's always a better teacher than trying to preach.
Don Cheadle
Image
I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.
