In fact, someone was telling me that Gladiator was the one film where Ridley Scott didn't take a producer's credit. And it won. But this guy changed the industry twice with Aliens which was a whole new way of looking at things and Blade Runner that was also a whole new way of looking at things.

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
So you never know who you touch. You never know how or when you'll have an impact, or how important your example can be to someone else (20).
Denzel Washington
I think we're fascinated by gangsters and that whole lifestyle and crossing the line. We get sort of stuck in our normal lives, if you will, and you want to be bigger than life and I think people somehow live through these sorts of characters.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
Denzel Washington
What's a celebrity anyway? Paris Hilton's a celebrity. I'm just a working actor.
Denzel Washington
