Quotes from Donald Glover

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.

One thing my dad once said to me, "You either want to be right, or you want to be happy. To be happy, there's gotta be a conversation."

I think that's what makes a good rapper. Somebody who wants to push themselves and their audience further.

The thing about stand-up was, I was doing all this sketch and YouTube stuff where I was not being censored and I got to do my own thing, and it was really cool.

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?

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'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.

I don't think I'm good, I don't think I'm a good rapper. I think a lot of people always want me to battle somebody and stuff like that which is cool, but I don't see myself as a rapper.

I feel like there's a lot of rappers that could out-rap me and I wouldn't want to face any of them.

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.

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

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

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 try to be me to the utmost.

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.

I try and go to as many places as possible. It's really cool that I even get to see different places.

Why does every girl in the world wanna date me? Especially right now man, especially when I'm busy!

May your dreams be sweet and your nightmares be spooky-monster-scary and not grandma-died-scary.
