More quotes by Denzel Washington
I even asked [Saniyya Sidney] why she wanted to be an actor and she said, I'm serious about this. These other little kids they want to play, and I don't have time for that.
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
I always say the time to worry about flying is when you're on the ground. If you don't trust the captain, don't go.
Denzel Washington
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
Denzel Washington
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
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
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
Denzel Washington
It's very important to transcend places that hold us.
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
The secret to a happy marriage? Do whatever your wife tells you. 'Yes, dear.' And breathe.
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
I read the Bible every day.
Denzel Washington
Hate put me in prison. Love's gonna bust me out.
Denzel Washington
I pray that you all put your shoes way under the bed at night so that you gotta get on your knees in the morning to find them. And while you're down there thank God for grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of the glory, we all got plenty.
Denzel Washington
I've been fortunate. I don't pick scripts. Scripts pick me.
Denzel Washington
[Fences] is just a great play to bring to the screen.
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
A part of me still says, 'Maybe, Denzel, you're supposed to preach. Maybe you're still compromising.' I've had an opportunity to play great men and, through their words, to preach. I take what talent I've been given seriously, and I want to use it for good.
Denzel Washington
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.
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.
