Don Cheadle quote: "We're trying to do what Miles Davis would have wanted us to..."
We're trying to do what Miles Davis would have wanted us to do, which is approach it as artists with his life as the canvas. Don Cheadle
Many of my friends and family are scratching it out somewhere decidedly south of the ever widening gap between the haves and have nots, looking at losing their homes, colleges they can't afford and healthcare they can't avail themselves of. Don Cheadle
President Obama inherited a broken country mired in two wars, a financial crisis, a mortgage mess and more than we all probably even know about and has in my opinion brought us back from the brink. But I still see my friends in no better shape and the gap widening. Don Cheadle
Don Cheadle quote: "I used to record but just in my own studio or in my friend's..."
I used to record but just in my own studio or in my friend's back when I toyed with the idea of being a rapper. Don Cheadle
Now is a good time, 10 years ago would have been a good time, and 10 years from now it will still be a good time to see a dynamic, entertaining movie that's wall-to-wall Miles Davis where the music will hopefully spark some desire to know more about the man. Don Cheadle

Don Cheadle
I understand what's it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something. Don Cheadle
We're always trailing, as far as the amount of roles that are written for us and the films that are being made that have black characters in them. I don't know if that's going to change. Don Cheadle
I've never been a part of a film before that offers such a platform into real issues, that raises social awareness and has the potential to change things. Don Cheadle
I imagine it was much different in the 1970s. That was the Renaissance for black actors, albeit in blaxploitation movies. There was a much greater preponderance of work then than there is now. Don Cheadle
For me, it's always just been about finding material that I think is creative and interesting and fun and something that can expand me and that I can hopefully do something with. Don Cheadle
I prefer film to TV because of the amount of time film affords you that TV doesn't (though theater is probably my favorite and the scariest place of all). Don Cheadle
If people in this country think of Africa as a place with kids and flies swarming around their heads, then they won't understand that these people are you and you are them. Don Cheadle
I also believe that you are what you have to defend, and if you're a black man that's always going to be the bar against which you are judged, whether you want to align yourself with those themes or not. You can think of yourself as a colourless person, but nobody else is gonna. Don Cheadle
I want to see somebody go to jail over the financial crisis and not just black, brown and poor whites over humbles and minor drug beefs. Don Cheadle
