More quotes by Don Cheadle
I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.
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
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
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 think having good family and friends really helps to ground you.
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
Yeah! I went to the set of Monuments Men.
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Speak up when you're supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.
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
Living by example - that's always a better teacher than trying to preach.
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.
