More quotes by Denzel Washington
I even asked [Saniyya Sidney] why she wanted to be an actor and she said, I'm serious about this. These other little kids they want to play, and I don't have time for that.
Denzel Washington
Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are and to the dust we shall return.
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
It's not easy for me to admit that I've been standing in the same place for 18 years.
Denzel Washington
I am not going to bury my son! My son is going to bury me!

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.

There is nothing good or bad, except by comparison (209) - Effort is Everything by Bud Selig
Denzel Washington
That's what I tell young actors. You don't have to compromise. Go do some theater and wait for an appropriate role.
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
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
The time to worrying about flying is when you're on the ground. When you're up in the air, it's too late. No point in worrying about it then.
Denzel Washington
You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.
Denzel Washington
My father was a minister for 50 years with Pentecostal Church of God in Christ. We prayed about everything, every day, then he always said, Amen. God is love. I thought God is love was one word. Like Godislove. And it took me a long time to learn what that really meant.
Denzel Washington
You never know how you're going to affect people.
Denzel Washington
Raising the standard of the work, not complaining about somebody not voting.
Denzel Washington
Don't get all sentimental on me, Makes me think I'm gonna die.
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
People have said to me for a long time, Man you're funny. I say, Well, I'm quick, but being funny on purpose, take after take - that's why I said for me it was new territory, and so by improvising something might come out that might be good. And it's film, so they can cut it if it isn't.
Denzel Washington
We'll all retire from life at some point. The great thing about acting is you don't necessarily have to retire.
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.
