Denzel Washington
Raising the standard of the work, not complaining about somebody not voting.
Denzel Washington
We've all received our share of good fortune, so that's my definition of much. A single blessing is all the bounty in the world, and if you've been blessed at all you're meant to pass some of that on. You're meant to set a positive example. That's our responsibility
Denzel Washington
I just try to be honest and true to the character and play the part.
