Quotes by Donald Glover
Donald Glover's insights on:
Being in London has really taught me how important history is. Just having information of the past. It helps you predict the future, which is all we really have as, you know, humans.
If you're on Twitter, what you're saying is, 'I'm important enough for you to care what I think.'
I'm very confident in my point of view. 'Cause I think that that's all you can really have. I'm never really going to know what anybody else is going through, so it's just kind of your job to be expressive with your point of view.
To all my fans who’s saying Donald Glover about to blow, just give me six months so you can say I told you so.
Also, I realized a lot of kids are listening to me. Whether I want to be or not, they’re looking up to me.
I like horror films and romance films. Films where you’re going in being like, ‘I’m coming here to be scared or to fall in love.’ You have a goal.
I’m probably going to get in trouble for this but ‘American Dad’ is one of my favourite shows. It gets very dark in places but the jokes are there.
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 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.
We put stereotypes on ourselves. Everybody does that. But I think it’s just a little harder for black kids to just be who they are.
