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.

More quotes by Denzel Washington
I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.
Denzel Washington
Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: My god is right, yours is wrong. Religion to me is the human condition. If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian. That to me is religion.
Denzel Washington
It just happened that we did [Fences] seven years ago on Broadway. Scott Rudin brought me August Wilson's original screenplay for it, and I realized I hadn't read the play. So I read it. Then I realized that Troy (my character) was 53 - and I was 55 at the time. I realized I better hurry up! I might be too old!
Denzel Washington
Got to be who you are in this world, no matter what.

[Fences] is just a great play to bring to the screen.

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.

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
Do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do.
Denzel Washington
Raising the standard of the work, not complaining about somebody not voting.
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
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
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
Denzel Washington
I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!
Denzel Washington
We live in a time when people give up too easy.
Denzel Washington
As an actor, you're a color of paint on someone else's palette. But as a director, it's your canvas and you make the painting you want to make.
Denzel Washington
I'm not interested in being a celebrity I'm interested in being a better actor and a better director.
Denzel Washington
I even asked [Saniyya Sidney] why she wanted to be an actor and she said, I'm serious about this. These other little kids they want to play, and I don't have time for that.
Denzel Washington
It's important for us to tell our stories.
Denzel Washington
There's a book called The Sociopath Next Door. I thought most sociopaths were violent. In fact, they aren't. But almost all sociopaths want to win, no matter what.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
