More quotes by Don Cheadle
I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all).
Don Cheadle
I'm trying to steal from everybody. So yeah, there's cats that I'm personally affiliated with - Carl Franklin, Paul Thomas Anderson - and others that I don't know personally but their work I'm a big admirer of, like Martin Scorsese. But I'm hoping to come up with a language that is mine, that's specific to my take on this material.
Don Cheadle
I think having good family and friends really helps to ground you.
Don Cheadle
People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.
Don Cheadle
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.
Don Cheadle
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.
Don Cheadle
But most scripts are terrible. Most projects are bad, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm not really attracted to those.
Don Cheadle
Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.
Don Cheadle
It's much easier to cry or be angry, but to really laugh and genuinely be buoyant and laugh. That's hard if you don't really feel that way.
Don Cheadle
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.
Don Cheadle
Living by example - that's always a better teacher than trying to preach.
Don Cheadle
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.
Don Cheadle
I pray that our leaders stop pointing fingers and playing the blame game and seek a real solution for the good of the planet and all who inhabit it.
Don Cheadle
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?
Don Cheadle
I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.
Don Cheadle
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.
Don Cheadle
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
We're trying to do what Miles Davis would have wanted us to do, which is approach it as artists with his life as the canvas.
Don Cheadle
I was about to write that in the future I would chose my words more carefully but I'm sure I won't.
Don Cheadle
Yeah! I went to the set of Monuments Men.
