More quotes by 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
Girls who used to tell me I ain't cool enough now text me pics saying you can tear this up!
Donald Glover
Writing is a very strenuous thing - it's like banging your head against a wall. At the end of the day, acting is better, just because nobody ever asked me if I wanted a Pellegrino in the writer's room.
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
I feel like there's a lot of rappers that could out-rap me and I wouldn't want to face any of them.
Donald Glover
Suicide is kinda dumb to me. If I wanna kill myself I will. It's not hard to die, I could do it like right now. But why is everybody pretending like everything's ok, Everything's not ok. We are more connected than we've ever been, But I feel more alone than I've ever been.
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 try to be me to the utmost.
Donald Glover

Donald Glover
When anybody pays you to be creative, you're very lucky.
Donald Glover
The only reason I'm able to do music is because I'm making money on 'Community.' If I wasn't, I couldn't pay for things.
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
If it makes you nervous- you're doing it right.
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
One thing my dad once said to me, You either want to be right, or you want to be happy. To be happy, there's gotta be a conversation.
Donald Glover
I hope in general that my music allows somebody to follow what they really like doing.
Donald Glover
I am what I am, everything I wanna be
Donald Glover
I would never challenge any rapper to a rap-off. It's weird, I'm not that type of rapper.
Donald Glover
Usually, if I think something is really funny, I'm not gonna test it. I'll just test it when I'm onstage.
Donald Glover
Girls are supposed to dance. That's why god gave them parts that jiggle.
