More quotes by Denzel Washington
I'm a positive person, so I don't get bogged down with it. If you're expecting that, if you wall in that, if you practice that, then you'll attract what you fear.
Denzel Washington
I have a new respect for filmmakers, that's for sure, 'cause it's not easy. If I'm allowed to, I'll be directing for the rest of my life. I love the process.
Denzel Washington
Any good piece of material like Shakespeare ought to be open to reinterpretation.
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
We've all had some level of injustice, whether 20 years in prison, or 20 minutes sitting in your car waiting for a police officer to determine your future. Or even a few moments in an elevator with some woman clutching her purse thinking you're going to rob her ¾ regardless of celebrity, that has happened to me.
Denzel Washington
We rehearsed for two weeks [in Fences], and we taped out the whole house in the front, and the rooms, and we stood it up like a play. We tried to get off book and gave people small props.

You can’t break me because you didn’t make me.

People have said to me for a long time, Man you're funny. I say, Well, I'm quick, but being funny on purpose, take after take - that's why I said for me it was new territory, and so by improvising something might come out that might be good. And it's film, so they can cut it if it isn't.
Denzel Washington
Revenge is a meal best served cold.
Denzel Washington
It's important for us to tell our stories.
Denzel Washington
The greatest lesson I've learned in life is Who knows what's good or bad? Things come along that you really want, and they turn out to be the worst thing in the world. And some of the worst tragedies that you can conceive turn out to be the best things, the exact medicine you need in that moment.
Denzel Washington
I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.
Denzel Washington
When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.
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
My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Denzel Washington
We live in a time when people give up too easy.
Denzel Washington
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.
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
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
Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.
