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).

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.

We live in a time when people give up too easy.

Denzel Washington
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
In my humble opinion, in the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself.
Denzel Washington
I'm a parent. I think we're responsible for the problems that young people have. I believe that. I don't blame them for any of it. I blame us for what we haven't done as mothers and fathers, not sticking together as a unit.
Denzel Washington
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.
Denzel Washington
My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
Denzel Washington
There's things that I can do as an actor that I couldn't do in any other form of life and I've got a strange personality. But film requires strange people, so I've got a nice comfy home.
Denzel Washington
Acting, it's not my life, my children and my family, that's life. I'll get up every morning, God willing, for that.
