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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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.
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
I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.
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
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
People have always been obsessed by celebrities. There are just more outlets and opportunities to make a living exploiting that obsession nowadays.
Don Cheadle
I've been doing this since I was 10 years old, inhabiting different people and playing different roles.
Don Cheadle
I think having good family and friends really helps to ground you.
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
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 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.
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
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
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
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.
