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.

More quotes by Denzel Washington
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
Denzel Washington
What it taught me was forgiveness. It taught me that when people present themselves in a certain way, there's probably some back story or issue or reason for the way that they are. It's not you. It's them. And a lot of times, its about something that's completely out of their control
Denzel Washington
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
Denzel Washington
I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.
Denzel Washington
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
You don't know when you're being watched. That's one of the weird things about celebrity. It's my least favorite part of acting, celebrity.
Denzel Washington
I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!

Some said America took a step forward electing a black president. In light of the unconstitutiona l expansion of powers, lack of transparency and fueling the fires of unrest that clearly hasn't been the case. Vote based on merits, not to fill a racial quota.
Denzel Washington
You don't pick black actors or black directors because they are black. You pick them because they are good. If you lend somebody 50 million dollars you want you're money back. You don't care if they are oppressed. You just want you're money back.
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.
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
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.

Denzel Washington: I like the collaboration, I like seeing people do well, so I really plan to direct the rest of my days.
Denzel Washington
The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
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
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
It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.
Denzel Washington
I walk by faith, not by sight.
Denzel Washington
In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
Denzel Washington
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
