[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.
Denzel Washington
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.

Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: My god is right, yours is wrong. Religion to me is the human condition. If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian. That to me is religion.
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
As the filmmaker, yes, I have to look out for everybody. But I don't have to know everybody's approach.

When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.
Denzel Washington
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington
I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.
Denzel Washington
I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
Denzel Washington
Raising the standard of the work, not complaining about somebody not voting.
Denzel Washington
It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.
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
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
Denzel Washington
When you look in one direction where Troy's chair was, you could see out through the yard across the street, there was an old cork bar advertisement for five cents. We wanted it to feel like this was real life [in Fences] and that it extended blocks and blocks.
Denzel Washington
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Denzel Washington
Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.
Denzel Washington
Thank God in advance for what's already yours.
