Years ago, even prior to 9/11, I did a movie called The Siege. I did a lot of research with the FBI and the CIA. And I was amazed at that time (I guess we might all know it now) how little information they shared with each other. So after that, I'm not surprised by anything.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

We rehearsed for two weeks [in Fences], and we taped out the whole house in the front, and the rooms, and we stood it up like a play. We tried to get off book and gave people small props.

Taking the money from drug operations and all that sort of stuff is something that goes past what most of us in society would expect a policeman should do.

So the desire you have, that itch that you have to be whatever it is you want to be ... that itch, that desire for good is God’s proof to you sent already to indicate that it’s yours. You already have it. Claim it.

We've all had some level of injustice, whether 20 years in prison, or 20 minutes sitting in your car waiting for a police officer to determine your future. Or even a few moments in an elevator with some woman clutching her purse thinking you're going to rob her ¾ regardless of celebrity, that has happened to me.

A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

If it ain't on a page, it ain't on a stage.

It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.

[Martin] Scorsese probably could have directed Schindler's List and [Steven] Spielberg probably could have directed Goodfellas. But it's as much to do with the difference in culture as it is with race.

You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.
Denzel Washington
Image
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.

Growing up I didn't watch movies.
