More quotes by Donald Glover
I'm a big PAX person... just because it's accessible. I feel like between the weed and the wax it's kind of like BetaMax and VHS. You can carry it around, people don't really know what it is, no smell.
Donald Glover
The thing about stand-up was, not only was I getting to write it without anybody saying I couldn't do it, but I got to perform it. It just kind of became therapy for me. I had just gotten through a break-up and I was talking about it a lot.
Donald Glover
I hope people come to the shows because they feel like there's something there that I can't necessarily articulate, but it's real and it's fun.
Donald Glover
I keep it wrapped until i meet the right one 'Cause I ain't Mumford, I ain't trying to have sons
Donald Glover
Don't add an eezy to my name, 'cause it has never been that'
Donald Glover
The thing about stand-up was, I was doing all this sketch and YouTube stuff where I was not being censored and I got to do my own thing, and it was really cool.
Donald Glover
Girls who used to tell me I ain't cool enough now text me pics saying you can tear this up!
Donald Glover
If you like strange, specific stuff - that's a nerd. Kanye West is a black nerd. He likes strange, specific stuff. If you go up to Kanye West and say, 'Hey, what are your favorite things?' He'll be like, 'Robots and teddy bears.' That's a nerd.
Donald Glover
I'm very impatient, so I was like, 'I want to be able to do whatever I want now.' But even the biggest stars - you look back and they weren't overnight.
Donald Glover
There are some rappers out there that I listen to, that I'm like: You are really good but you could be like the Michael Jordan of rap if you applied yourself. There's a lot of people who are better at basketball than Michael Jordan, but Michael Jordan just wanted to be Michael Jordan, more.
Donald Glover
People are sometimes like: Oh man, you're so talented and you do a bunch of stuff. I'm not! I swear to god, I'm not. I just like learning stuff, I like doing stuff. And I feel like everybody can definitely do it.
Donald Glover
I am what I am, everything I wanna be
Donald Glover
I hate it when you really think you're getting something good... and you don't listen to your dudes when you really should.
Donald Glover
When you think of the former high school football star, you think 6-foot-2, white, meathead as the model for that kind of character. Since I'm not 6-foot-2 or white, I just thought about what I could bring to it. I thought about Smash Williams from 'Friday Night Lights,' like the cocky quarterback, and played around with that.
Donald Glover
Dress like a gentleman, but my mouth is never civilized.
Donald Glover
You're always allowed to be better.
Donald Glover
Girls are supposed to dance. That's why god gave them parts that jiggle.
Donald Glover
I have to say it's better to be an actor, only because people worry about what time you go to sleep and what you dress like. As opposed to a writer, where it's like, Oh I'm in my New York University sweatshirt and I'm not wearing pants. You're not worried about what you're eating or anything. It's all a part of your process.
Donald Glover
It seems the more I try to connect with the world, I am feeling more alone than I ever have felt before
Donald Glover
Most people think I'm Danny Glover's son when they meet me. So when they ask, I say 'No, I'm Crispin Glover's son.' Then we stare at each other for a long time.
Donald Glover
