More quotes by Don Cheadle
I was brought into the curiosity of it because with Sony Pictures Classics, which bought the movie, they look into what the feedback is and base that off of how they release it, and you end up hearing the feedback and getting that early talk. So the reviews early on that were bad reviews, they were kind of reviewing another movie.

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.
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
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.
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 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.

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.

Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.
Don Cheadle
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
People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.
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
When I'm the person in front of the microphone, and I'm the person in the light, I want to reflect and refract the light onto places where they need the attention, where I don't need it.
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
I think if you were to look at my resume in total you would see a lot of things that are kind of all over the map.
Don Cheadle
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.
Don Cheadle
Yeah! I went to the set of Monuments Men.
Don Cheadle
We're really trying to give people the ability to go into a darkened room and have a couple hours of just pure enjoyment.
Don Cheadle
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.
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
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.
