The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
Denzel Washington
[Movie Fences] is more than holds up today. We have had a tremendous response at the screenings.
Denzel Washington
I asked my mother I said, You divorced my dad, how did you decide? She said, I decided twelve years before he knew it. I was like wow I'm learning something new every day.

I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

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
Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are and to the dust we shall return.
Denzel Washington
I just do what I feel and what I like. I don't necessarily censor or feel an obligation to have a particular moral standard - I'm willing to wallow in the mud, if necessary. It appears as if there seems to be a consistency in result, but maybe that has as much to do with the roles I choose as it does with how I play them. I do what pleases me.

Denzel Washington
You don't pick black actors or black directors because they are black. You pick them because they are good. If you lend somebody 50 million dollars you want you're money back. You don't care if they are oppressed. You just want you're money back.
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
My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Denzel Washington
The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then.
Denzel Washington
I've been fortunate. I don't pick scripts. Scripts pick me.
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
That's what I tell young actors. You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role.
Denzel Washington
I love research and being educated. It's a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people's shoes.
Denzel Washington
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Denzel Washington
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
