I hate it when you really think you're getting something good... and you don't listen to your dudes when you really should.

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.

Don't add an eezy to my name, 'cause it has never been that'
Donald Glover

Black culture is a fight. We want to hold on to what we are, but sometimes the things that we are can be totally negative. You have to think: can't we try something new and not be seen as suspect?

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.

Don't be mad cuz I'm doing me better than you doing you.

If you're on Twitter, what you're saying is, 'I'm important enough for you to care what I think.'

I hope in general that my music allows somebody to follow what they really like doing.

Rapper, just puts so much connotation on who you are and what is exposed. Even if a lot of it is out-dated, people still bring a lot to it.

I am what I am, everything I wanna be

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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

You're always allowed to be better.

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.

Girls are supposed to dance. That's why god gave them parts that jiggle.

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.
