My father was a minister for 50 years with Pentecostal Church of God in Christ. We prayed about everything, every day, then he always said, Amen. God is love. I thought God is love was one word. Like Godislove. And it took me a long time to learn what that really meant.

Denzel Washington
I've worked with children all my life.
Denzel Washington
I've worked in a factory. I was a garbage man. I worked in a post office. It's not that long ago. I like to think that I'm just a regular guy.
Denzel Washington
So you never know who you touch. You never know how or when you'll have an impact, or how important your example can be to someone else (20).
Denzel Washington
[Having monologue] are talking to somebody even if it's just to yourself, convince yourself if that's what you're trying to do.
