Danny Glover's Quotes

• Every day of my life I walk with the idea I am black no matter how successful I am.
• It would be extraordinary for [the American] film culture to unravel slavery but it doesn't. People are afraid to deal with it. There is no framework for people to unravel it.
• Meeting someone, seeing someone, finding someone, finding a relationship with somebody that you didn't anticipate. I'm challenged all the time with keeping that space open.
• Some people's life is governed by what their publicists or what their managers define and shape or frame what they should do. I don't have that. I do what I feel like doing.
• [In a 1985 interview] I pray. I pray a lot. I read the Bible. I feel fortunate in that sense. I don't do it by myself. There's somebody watching me up there, and there's somebody watching me down here too!
