More quotes by Denzel Washington
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
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
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
Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
Denzel Washington
When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!
Denzel Washington
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.
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 could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.
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
I've always felt protected. That's the God's honest truth.
Denzel Washington
I have a new respect for filmmakers, that's for sure, 'cause it's not easy. If I'm allowed to, I'll be directing for the rest of my life. I love the process.
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
What it taught me was forgiveness. It taught me that when people present themselves in a certain way, there's probably some back story or issue or reason for the way that they are. It's not you. It's them. And a lot of times, its about something that's completely out of their control
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
Acting, it's not my life, my children and my family, that's life. I'll get up every morning, God willing, for that.
Denzel Washington
[Black people] come into the world exactly like you. It's just that there are circumstances in the culture that are dictated and put on our lives that we have to fight against.
Denzel Washington
I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
Denzel Washington
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.
Denzel Washington
When you make a movie it's always interesting, because you end up in places you never would as a normal visitor or tourist.
Denzel Washington
You'll see some great performances [in Fences]. And I'm not just saying that because I directed it either! You'll see!
Denzel Washington
