I just do what I feel and what I like. I don't necessarily censor or feel an obligation to have a particular moral standard - I'm willing to wallow in the mud, if necessary. It appears as if there seems to be a consistency in result, but maybe that has as much to do with the roles I choose as it does with how I play them. I do what pleases me.
Denzel Washington
I asked my mother I said, You divorced my dad, how did you decide? She said, I decided twelve years before he knew it. I was like wow I'm learning something new every day.
Denzel Washington
When you look in one direction where Troy's chair was, you could see out through the yard across the street, there was an old cork bar advertisement for five cents. We wanted it to feel like this was real life [in Fences] and that it extended blocks and blocks.
Denzel Washington
Talent comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work and develop it.
Denzel Washington
I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.
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
It's not easy for me to admit that I've been standing in the same place for 18 years.
