More quotes by Denzel Washington
There's always got to be room for what you might call benign corruption. Nobody blames a man who steals food to feed his starving children, but on the other hand, somebody who picks up a badge and takes an oath to serve and protect we do expect a certain level of essential honesty.

Denzel Washington
Do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do.
Denzel Washington
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
Denzel Washington
You never know how you're going to affect people.
Denzel Washington
My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.
Denzel Washington
It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.
Denzel Washington
I always say the time to worry about flying is when you're on the ground. If you don't trust the captain, don't go.
Denzel Washington
It's not easy for me to admit that I've been standing in the same place for 18 years.
Denzel Washington
I've worked with children all my life.
Denzel Washington
What's a celebrity anyway? Paris Hilton's a celebrity. I'm just a working actor.
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).
