More quotes by Denzel Washington
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.
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
Don't get all sentimental on me, Makes me think I'm gonna die.
Denzel Washington
Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift.
Denzel Washington
As an actor in the theater you're taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can't say, Oh, I'm a bad guy. How do you play 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 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
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
Denzel Washington
I'll be working with Ridley's [Scott] brother, Tony, again, someone who needless to say we've had a great amount of success together. I trust him - so I won't have to think about it or I'll try not to.
Denzel Washington
Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.
Denzel Washington
You don't have to kill somebody to play a murderer. You have to read the script and interpret the character.
Denzel Washington
Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
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
Revenge is a meal best served cold.
Denzel Washington
Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.
Denzel Washington
We live in a time when people give up too easy.
Denzel Washington
I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.
Denzel Washington
I pray that you all put your shoes way under the bed at night so that you gotta get on your knees in the morning to find them. And while you're down there thank God for grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of the glory, we all got plenty.
Denzel Washington
Do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do.
