My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Denzel Washington
I'm not interested in being a celebrity I'm interested in being a better actor and a better director.

As an actor in the theater you're taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can't say, Oh, I'm a bad guy. How do you play that?
Denzel Washington

The greatest lesson I've learned in life is Who knows what's good or bad? Things come along that you really want, and they turn out to be the worst thing in the world. And some of the worst tragedies that you can conceive turn out to be the best things, the exact medicine you need in that moment.
Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington
I think we're fascinated by gangsters and that whole lifestyle and crossing the line. We get sort of stuck in our normal lives, if you will, and you want to be bigger than life and I think people somehow live through these sorts of characters.
Denzel Washington
I pray that you all put your shoes way under the bed at night so that you gotta get on your knees in the morning to find them. And while you're down there thank God for grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of the glory, we all got plenty.
Denzel Washington
The Bible says faith without works is nothing so destiny is great, fate is great, faith is great - but you still have to work at it. I don't just sit at home and wait for it all to unfold.
Denzel Washington
Some said America took a step forward electing a black president. In light of the unconstitutiona l expansion of powers, lack of transparency and fueling the fires of unrest that clearly hasn't been the case. Vote based on merits, not to fill a racial quota.
Denzel Washington
You never know how you're going to affect people.
Denzel Washington
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
Denzel Washington
That's what I tell young actors. You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role.
