More quotes by Denzel Washington
I just do what I feel and what I like. I don't necessarily censor or feel an obligation to have a particular moral standard - I'm willing to wallow in the mud, if necessary. It appears as if there seems to be a consistency in result, but maybe that has as much to do with the roles I choose as it does with how I play them. I do what pleases me.

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'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 think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.
Denzel Washington
[Fences] is just a great play to bring to the screen.
Denzel Washington
Thank God in advance for what's already yours.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
Denzel Washington
The secret to a happy marriage? Do whatever your wife tells you. 'Yes, dear.' And breathe.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift.

The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then.
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
Cats are too independent. They piss me off. They play when they want, and then they turn their back on you. Dogs, you throw the ball, and they bring it back, tongue hanging out, tail wagging. Cats are like Not right now, too busy. Definitely a dog man. Except when it comes to cleaning up after them! Cats win that!
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
My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!
Denzel Washington
What's a celebrity anyway? Paris Hilton's a celebrity. I'm just a working actor.
Denzel Washington
Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.
Denzel Washington
I got on my knees and sort of communicated with the spirits. When I came out, I was in charge. I couldn't have acted that, I couldn't have written that.
Denzel Washington
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
Denzel Washington
What we did [shooting Fences] was we got young students from Carnegie Mellon, the acting and theater students, and we had them as our understudies. I told them, You have to be off book and be ready. If Viola [Davis] has to leave you have to jump in.
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.
