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.

There's always got to be room for what you might call benign corruption. Nobody blames a man who steals food to feed his starving children, but on the other hand, somebody who picks up a badge and takes an oath to serve and protect we do expect a certain level of essential honesty.

Image
Growing up I didn't watch movies.
Denzel Washington
Image
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.
Denzel Washington
Image
I read the Bible every day.
Denzel Washington
Image
You don't have to kill somebody to play a murderer. You have to read the script and interpret the character.
Denzel Washington
Image
You have to grab moments when they happen. I like to improvise and ad lib.
Denzel Washington
Image
I've always felt protected. That's the God's honest truth.

Image
We'll all retire from life at some point. The great thing about acting is you don't necessarily have to retire.

I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.
