My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.
Denzel Washington
When you trust the director you want to trust his or her choices. I don't want to say, 'No, I don't like this girl or that guy, when the director really loves them. No, you want to go with what the director likes.

I read the Bible every day.

You'll see some great performances [in Fences]. And I'm not just saying that because I directed it either! You'll see!
Denzel Washington
I just try to be honest and true to the character and play the part.
Denzel Washington
I say luck is when an opportunity comes along and you're prepared for it.
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
Talent comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work and develop it.
Denzel Washington
We've all received our share of good fortune, so that's my definition of much. A single blessing is all the bounty in the world, and if you've been blessed at all you're meant to pass some of that on. You're meant to set a positive example. That's our responsibility
Denzel Washington
Taking the money from drug operations and all that sort of stuff is something that goes past what most of us in society would expect a policeman should do. That temptation hits the police force at the same time as the temptation to take those drugs that are readily available hits the people on the streets.
Denzel Washington
I always say the time to worry about flying is when you're on the ground. If you don't trust the captain, don't go.
