More quotes by Denzel Washington
I'm not a film buff. I don't watch a lot of movies.
Denzel Washington
I got on my knees and sort of communicated with the spirits. When I came out, I was in charge. I couldn't have acted that, I couldn't have written that.
Denzel Washington
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
Denzel Washington
A part of me still says, 'Maybe, Denzel, you're supposed to preach. Maybe you're still compromising.' I've had an opportunity to play great men and, through their words, to preach. I take what talent I've been given seriously, and I want to use it for good.
Denzel Washington
Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
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
Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
Denzel Washington
I'm not interested in being a celebrity I'm interested in being a better actor and a better director.
Denzel Washington
Say what you really want to say.
Denzel Washington
Got to be who you are in this world, no matter what.
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's not easy for me to admit that I've been standing in the same place for 18 years.
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
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
Denzel Washington
By the way, sitting with other mommies is probably the most frightening experience in the entire world. They're serious into mommy-shaming.
Denzel Washington
We know what hair smells like when a hot comb hits it. That's a cultural thing. We know what that smells like on Sunday mornings, usually church-related or something. In my house, it was getting ready for church and your sister was getting her hair fried.
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
I just try to be honest and true to the character and play the part.
Denzel Washington
Hate put me in prison. Love's gonna bust me out.
