More quotes by Denzel Washington
My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.
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
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
Say what you really want to say.
Denzel Washington
Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
Denzel Washington
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.
Denzel Washington
In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
Denzel Washington
A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
Denzel Washington
Money doesn't buy happiness. Some people say it's a heck of a down payment, though.

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.

I didn't want to audition the kids so much I just wanted to talk to them because I like seeing how they are because their mothers usually mess them up with practice. So, I'd rather talk to them and see how they respond. I just throw things at them and see how they can hit the ball back, and Saniyya Sidney was good.
Denzel Washington
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
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
I don't look back, no. Maybe when I'm older people say, 'What's your favorite film?' I say, 'My next one.' I'm not interested in sitting around I just don't, never have.
Denzel Washington
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.
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 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
You can’t break me because you didn’t make me.
Denzel Washington
I read the Bible every day.
