More quotes by Denzel Washington
[Movie Fences] is more than holds up today. We have had a tremendous response at the screenings.
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
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
Fundamentally, the most important thing is to get the film made for me and to get as many people to see it as possible. And if I help that, then - I know I help that, let's put it that way. I do know that I help that. It is called show business.
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 read the Bible every day.
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
If it ain't on a page, it ain't on a stage.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
Denzel Washington
I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!
Denzel Washington
When my oldest boy was about 14, I started to talk to him about some of the mistakes I made in life, just to put a few dents in that shiny armor.
Denzel Washington
[Having monologue] are talking to somebody even if it's just to yourself, convince yourself if that's what you're trying to do.
Denzel Washington
It could be that it's not that different. Circumstances, no matter what the color is, could be similar.
Denzel Washington
Say what you really want to say.
Denzel Washington
I'm a parent. I think we're responsible for the problems that young people have. I believe that. I don't blame them for any of it. I blame us for what we haven't done as mothers and fathers, not sticking together as a unit.
Denzel Washington
My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Denzel Washington
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
Denzel Washington
[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
When you make a movie it's always interesting, because you end up in places you never would as a normal visitor or tourist.
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.
