I worked with Sidney Lumet years ago, and we had a long rehearsal process, and he would tape out the entire set on the stage, so I stole that from him.
Denzel Washington
As an actor, you're a color of paint on someone else's palette. But as a director, it's your canvas and you make the painting you want to make.
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.

[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
I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.
Denzel Washington
Talent comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work and develop it.
