Writing is a weapon and it’s more powerful than a fist could ever be.
Denzel Washington
I'm not afraid to upset people. But I am not as upset because I understand what I'm up against.

In fact, someone was telling me that Gladiator was the one film where Ridley Scott didn't take a producer's credit. And it won. But this guy changed the industry twice with Aliens which was a whole new way of looking at things and Blade Runner that was also a whole new way of looking at things.
Denzel Washington
I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.
Denzel Washington
I work hard for the audience. It's entertainment. I don't need validation.

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.

It's very important to transcend places that hold us.

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
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
Denzel Washington
Growing up I didn't watch movies.
Denzel Washington
Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.
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
You never know how you're going to affect people.
Denzel Washington
[Having monologue] are talking to somebody even if it's just to yourself, convince yourself if that's what you're trying to do.
Denzel Washington
There's a book called The Sociopath Next Door. I thought most sociopaths were violent. In fact, they aren't. But almost all sociopaths want to win, no matter what.
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
I read the Bible every day.
Denzel Washington
Cats are too independent. They piss me off. They play when they want, and then they turn their back on you. Dogs, you throw the ball, and they bring it back, tongue hanging out, tail wagging. Cats are like Not right now, too busy. Definitely a dog man. Except when it comes to cleaning up after them! Cats win that!
