More quotes by Denzel Washington
Some said America took a step forward electing a black president. In light of the unconstitutiona l expansion of powers, lack of transparency and fueling the fires of unrest that clearly hasn't been the case. Vote based on merits, not to fill a racial quota.

It's very important to transcend places that hold us.

My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.

If it ain't on a page, it ain't on a stage.

It's strictly business. If I loan you $25 million, I want my money back. I don't want to hear about the social impact. That's great for you, but now I'm $25 million in the hole, so next time you come to ask me.

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.

A part of me still says, 'Maybe, Denzel, you're supposed to preach. Maybe you're still compromising.' I've had an opportunity to play great men and, through their words, to preach. I take what talent I've been given seriously, and I want to use it for good.
Denzel Washington
Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
Denzel Washington
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington
You never know how you're going to affect people.

Don't get all sentimental on me, Makes me think I'm gonna die.
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.

I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!

Michelle Pfeiffer hasn't been finding a lot of work recently because she doesn't like what a woman her age is offered. That's a real double standard. You get Sean Connery, who gets older and older, still playing opposite young ladies, but it doesn't work the other way around.
Denzel Washington
[Black people] come into the world exactly like you. It's just that there are circumstances in the culture that are dictated and put on our lives that we have to fight against.
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
As the filmmaker, yes, I have to look out for everybody. But I don't have to know everybody's approach.
