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
Do what you have to do, to do what you want to do.
