Denzel Washington
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
Denzel Washington

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.

What's a celebrity anyway? Paris Hilton's a celebrity. I'm just a working actor.

[Russel Crowe] has been through a lot and had a lot of success. No one knew who he was when I worked with him 12 years ago. He's just come off a great film in Australia- Romper Stomper - and so it was good to see him again. Obviously, I'd seen him since.

Hate put me in prison. Love's gonna bust me out.

If you have an enemy, then learn and know your enemy, don't just be mad at him or her.

Growing up I didn't watch movies.

When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!
