More quotes by Denzel Washington

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
Do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do.
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
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.

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
It's important for us to tell our stories.
Denzel Washington
We'll all retire from life at some point. The great thing about acting is you don't necessarily have to retire.

I try not to think about that [getting Oscar] ahead of time. You just try to do the best work you can, and then you get the movie out there, and we've been hearing good things. But you never know, you don't want to get too high, and you don't want to get too low.
Denzel Washington
I've always felt protected. That's the God's honest truth.
Denzel Washington
I'm not afraid to upset people. But I am not as upset because I understand what I'm up against.
Denzel Washington
The only reason I'm acting in films I direct is to get the money to make them, quite frankly, it's not what I'm interested in doing.
Denzel Washington
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
Denzel Washington
The poorest people are the sweetest people.

Religion to me is when man gets ahold of spirituality: My god is right, yours is wrong. Religion to me is the human condition. If you're a Muslim, you can't be a Christian. That to me is religion.
