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.

More quotes by 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
I personally don't believe people really grow. They just learn stuff when they were a kid, and hold on to it, and that affects every relationship they have.
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
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
I would never challenge any rapper to a rap-off. It's weird, I'm not that type of rapper.
Donald Glover
You're always allowed to be better.
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
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 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
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 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
I hope in general that my music allows somebody to follow what they really like doing.
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
When I wanna be a superhero I just wake up.
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
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
I feel like guys don't think it's cool to use emojis. I'm like, that's so whack. Emojis help so much. They really do give context to something.
Donald Glover
When anybody pays you to be creative, you're very lucky.
Donald Glover
Twitter does have an effect on everything - things you put out there, they are out there for good.
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
