More quotes by Denzel Washington
Taking the money from drug operations and all that sort of stuff is something that goes past what most of us in society would expect a policeman should do. That temptation hits the police force at the same time as the temptation to take those drugs that are readily available hits the people on the streets.
Denzel Washington
Writing is a weapon and it’s more powerful than a fist could ever be.
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
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me: You gotta smile more. Because if you don't smile, the way you look at people, they'll think you're mad at them.
Denzel Washington
Got to be who you are in this world, no matter what.

It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.
Denzel Washington
Revenge is a meal best served cold.
Denzel Washington
I don't look back, no. Maybe when I'm older people say, 'What's your favorite film?' I say, 'My next one.' I'm not interested in sitting around I just don't, never have.
Denzel Washington
I love research and being educated. It's a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people's shoes.
Denzel Washington
That's what I tell young actors. You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role.
Denzel Washington
You'll see some great performances [in Fences]. And I'm not just saying that because I directed it either! You'll see!
Denzel Washington
I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
Denzel Washington
I didn't want to audition the kids so much I just wanted to talk to them because I like seeing how they are because their mothers usually mess them up with practice. So, I'd rather talk to them and see how they respond. I just throw things at them and see how they can hit the ball back, and Saniyya Sidney was good.
Denzel Washington
It's very important to transcend places that hold us.
Denzel Washington
As the filmmaker, yes, I have to look out for everybody. But I don't have to know everybody's approach.
Denzel Washington
In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
