My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Denzel Washington
We live in a time when people give up too easy.

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
In Los Angeles, everyone is a star.

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!

I've worked with children all my life.
Denzel Washington
I'm a parent. I think we're responsible for the problems that young people have. I believe that. I don't blame them for any of it. I blame us for what we haven't done as mothers and fathers, not sticking together as a unit.
Denzel Washington
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.
Denzel Washington
The poorest people are the sweetest people.
Denzel Washington
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington
I've always felt protected. That's the God's honest truth.
Denzel Washington
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me: You gotta smile more. Because if you don't smile, the way you look at people, they'll think you're mad at them.
Denzel Washington
It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.
Denzel Washington
I've been fortunate. I don't pick scripts. Scripts pick me.
Denzel Washington
We've all received our share of good fortune, so that's my definition of much. A single blessing is all the bounty in the world, and if you've been blessed at all you're meant to pass some of that on. You're meant to set a positive example. That's our responsibility
