More quotes by 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
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
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
I've been doing this since I was 10 years old, inhabiting different people and playing different roles.
Don Cheadle
There are things that are happening way earlier than that when it comes to someone deciding whether they're going to spend x amount of millions of dollars on a movie. I want $100 million success. The moviegoer is the person I'm more interested in than the Academy.
Don Cheadle
Yeah! I went to the set of Monuments Men.
Don Cheadle
Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
Comedies are very hard to do. They are difficult. Unless there's the Judd Apatow school, where they're like okay, we know that, we're going to do those. Or unless it's something that's far to the other side.
Don Cheadle
President Obama inherited a broken country mired in two wars, a financial crisis, a mortgage mess and more than we all probably even know about and has in my opinion brought us back from the brink. But I still see my friends in no better shape and the gap widening.
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
Living by example - that's always a better teacher than trying to preach.
Don Cheadle
