    • [On how he became an actor] Danny Glover: I never thought about being an actor. In 1967, the students at San Francisco State invited the poet Amiri Baraka to the campus for a semester. He attracted other influential black writers such as Sonia Sanchez, Ed Bullins, Eldridge Cleaver. What emerged was something we called the community communications program. That's how I got involved; I got involved in a little play. As the BSU [Black Students Union] went through restructuring, I was named the minister of culture. At 20 or 21 years old, I wasn't even imaginative enough to know what that meant. But that's how I first got involved in acting.
    • Danny: 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.
    • Danny: Every day of my life I walk with the idea I am black no matter how successful I am.
