You start to find a rhythm and usually if it makes me laugh or comment in the editing room then I knew that's what's going to happen in the audience. That first reaction is usually the right reaction.

More quotes by Denzel Washington
I read the Bible every day.
Denzel Washington
As an actor, you're a color of paint on someone else's palette. But as a director, it's your canvas and you make the painting you want to make.
Denzel Washington
I still have my unemployment books and I remember when I worked for the sanitation department and the post office.
Denzel Washington
As an actor in the theater you're taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can't say, Oh, I'm a bad guy. How do you play that?
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 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
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
Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.
Denzel Washington
I'm from around Tennessee. I ran away when I was 12 years old and I ain't never looked back.
Denzel Washington
When I did A Soldier's Story, I was very young and green and thought I knew everything-now I know I know everything!
Denzel Washington
[Martin] Scorsese probably could have directed Schindler's List and [Steven] Spielberg probably could have directed Goodfellas. But it's as much to do with the difference in culture as it is with race.
Denzel Washington
Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.
Denzel Washington
In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
Denzel Washington
Years ago, even prior to 9/11, I did a movie called The Siege. I did a lot of research with the FBI and the CIA. And I was amazed at that time (I guess we might all know it now) how little information they shared with each other. So after that, I'm not surprised by anything.
Denzel Washington
When you make a movie it's always interesting, because you end up in places you never would as a normal visitor or tourist.
Denzel Washington
Talent comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work and develop it.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me: You gotta smile more. Because if you don't smile, the way you look at people, they'll think you're mad at them.
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
[Fences] is just a great play to bring to the screen.
Denzel Washington
The last few years I've been saying I was ready to quit. It wasn't that interesting to me. Now that I'm directing, it's all new again.
