[Movie Fences] is more than holds up today. We have had a tremendous response at the screenings.

[Russel Crowe] has been through a lot and had a lot of success. No one knew who he was when I worked with him 12 years ago. He's just come off a great film in Australia- Romper Stomper - and so it was good to see him again. Obviously, I'd seen him since.

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.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

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.

So the desire you have, that itch that you have to be whatever it is you want to be ... that itch, that desire for good is God’s proof to you sent already to indicate that it’s yours. You already have it. Claim it.

By the way, sitting with other mommies is probably the most frightening experience in the entire world. They're serious into mommy-shaming.
Denzel Washington
You start to find a rhythm and usually if it makes me laugh or comment in the editing room then I knew that's what's going to happen in the audience. That first reaction is usually the right reaction.
Denzel Washington
I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.
Denzel Washington
I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.
Denzel Washington
I think we're fascinated by gangsters and that whole lifestyle and crossing the line. We get sort of stuck in our normal lives, if you will, and you want to be bigger than life and I think people somehow live through these sorts of characters.
Denzel Washington
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.

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.

We live in a time when people give up too easy.

Years ago, even prior to 9/11, I did a movie called The Siege. I did a lot of research with the FBI and the CIA. And I was amazed at that time (I guess we might all know it now) how little information they shared with each other. So after that, I'm not surprised by anything.
