More quotes by Denzel Washington
In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
Denzel Washington
It's strictly business. If I loan you $25 million, I want my money back. I don't want to hear about the social impact. That's great for you, but now I'm $25 million in the hole, so next time you come to ask me.
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
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
Denzel Washington
I don't look back, no. Maybe when I'm older people say, 'What's your favorite film?' I say, 'My next one.' I'm not interested in sitting around I just don't, never have.
Denzel Washington
I just do what I feel and what I like. I don't necessarily censor or feel an obligation to have a particular moral standard - I'm willing to wallow in the mud, if necessary. It appears as if there seems to be a consistency in result, but maybe that has as much to do with the roles I choose as it does with how I play them. I do what pleases me.
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
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
It's very important to transcend places that hold us.
Denzel Washington
What we did [shooting Fences] was we got young students from Carnegie Mellon, the acting and theater students, and we had them as our understudies. I told them, You have to be off book and be ready. If Viola [Davis] has to leave you have to jump in.
Denzel Washington
Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.
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
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.
Denzel Washington
One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.
Denzel Washington
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington
Thank God in advance for what's already yours.
Denzel Washington
My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!
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
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
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
