More quotes by Denzel Washington
Raising the standard of the work, not complaining about somebody not voting.
Denzel Washington
You don't have to kill somebody to play a murderer. You have to read the script and interpret the character.
Denzel Washington
There is nothing good or bad, except by comparison (209) - Effort is Everything by Bud Selig
Denzel Washington
I've worked with children all my life.
Denzel Washington
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
Denzel Washington
Acting is like music and you improvise. It's like jazz, there's no rhyme or reason to it. It's not a plan. You practice to music and you just play it.
Denzel Washington
You start to find a rhythm and usually if it makes me laugh or comment in the editing room then I knew that's what's going to happen in the audience. That first reaction is usually the right reaction.
Denzel Washington
I've worked in a factory. I was a garbage man. I worked in a post office. It's not that long ago. I like to think that I'm just a regular guy.
Denzel Washington
It's strictly business. If I loan you $25 million, I want my money back. I don't want to hear about the social impact. That's great for you, but now I'm $25 million in the hole, so next time you come to ask me.
Denzel Washington
I try not to think about that [getting Oscar] ahead of time. You just try to do the best work you can, and then you get the movie out there, and we've been hearing good things. But you never know, you don't want to get too high, and you don't want to get too low.
Denzel Washington
You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.
Denzel Washington
I didn't want to audition the kids so much I just wanted to talk to them because I like seeing how they are because their mothers usually mess them up with practice. So, I'd rather talk to them and see how they respond. I just throw things at them and see how they can hit the ball back, and Saniyya Sidney was good.
Denzel Washington
I walk by faith, not by sight.
Denzel Washington
So you never know who you touch. You never know how or when you'll have an impact, or how important your example can be to someone else (20).
Denzel Washington
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
Denzel Washington
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
Denzel Washington
Thank God in advance for what's already yours.
Denzel Washington
I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.
Denzel Washington
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
Denzel Washington
The secret to a happy marriage? Do whatever your wife tells you. 'Yes, dear.' And breathe.
