Donald Glover

“I try to be me to the utmost.”

“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.”

“I just keep losing. I mean, some people just...are supposed to lose? For balance in the universe? I mean, like, are there just some people on earth who...are supposed to be here just to make it easier for the winners?”

“When anybody pays you to be creative, you're very lucky.”

“I have an obsession with books about kids with Asperger's syndrome.”

“I started doing '30 Rock' and started writing 'Mystery Team' at the beginning of that. While I was doing 'Mystery Team,' I started practicing stand-up. While I was doing stand up, I got 'Community.' It's like I planted trees six years ago, and now they have fruit.”

“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.”

“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.”

“I don’t want to sit there and be like, ‘Oh, I don’t care what the audience thinks.’ It does matter to me. I just want them to think, to be honest.”

“Black men struggle with masculinity so much. The idea that we must always be strong really presses us all down - it keeps us from growing.”

“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.”

“I think it's a comedian's job to make everything funny. Nothing is off-limits.”

“Careers very rarely are a waste of time; jobs usually are.”

“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.”

“I felt like high school for me was like a big whirlpool of me trying to figure out what was OK for me to do.”

“A lot of the rap shows I saw as a kid were boring, but if you went to a Rage show or a Justice show, the kids were losing their minds.”

“Twitter does have an effect on everything - things you put out there, they are out there for good.”

“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 call 'Community' the best day job in the world, because between takes, I get to write music. I get to write sketches. I get to write movies. It's the best job ever.”

“Usually, if I think something is really funny, I'm not gonna test it. I'll just test it when I'm onstage.”
