More quotes by Denzel Washington
It just happened that we did [Fences] seven years ago on Broadway. Scott Rudin brought me August Wilson's original screenplay for it, and I realized I hadn't read the play. So I read it. Then I realized that Troy (my character) was 53 - and I was 55 at the time. I realized I better hurry up! I might be too old!

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.

I walk by faith, not by sight.
Denzel Washington
The Bible says faith without works is nothing so destiny is great, fate is great, faith is great - but you still have to work at it. I don't just sit at home and wait for it all to unfold.

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
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.

One good thing about acting in film is that it's good therapy.

Denzel Washington
I just try to be honest and true to the character and play the part.

Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.

In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
Denzel Washington
My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
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
We live in a time when people give up too easy.
Denzel Washington
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Denzel Washington
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
Denzel Washington
I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
Denzel Washington
If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.

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

I love research and being educated. It's a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people's shoes.
