More quotes by Kerry Washington
You know what's funny is that I have this ongoing relationship with the city of Washington D.C. I went to George Washington University, and my nickname was K-Dub - based on G-Dub - and I'm now on the board of trustees at George Washington University.

Arts education must be part of our education solution because it works for all students.
Kerry Washington
I'll be honest with you. I'm a little bit of a loner. It's been a big part of my maturing process to learn to allow people to support me. I tend to be very self-reliant and private. And I have this history of wanting to work things out on my own and protect people from what's going on with me.

I think that the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight - it's not a 'gay wedding,' it's just a 'wedding'... It's not a 'gay marriage,' it's just 'a marriage.' It's not a 'black man' or 'white woman,' it's just 'a man' and 'a woman,' or 'a human' and 'a human.' I'd just like to get to that.

I'm doing this play right now, the new David Mamet play. It's called 'Race,' and it's very interesting how people really leave the theater filled with the desire to talk about the play and the issues and the characters, and how they're all navigating their personal views around race.

I really love research. It's one of the things I love most about my job. I feel like it's me in the lab cooking up the character.
Kerry Washington
Study! Study ! Study! Get an education.

People don't think about the fact that when Barack Obama's parents had him it was illegal for them to be married in several states in this country. So if we start making it okay that certain people can marry and other people can't, it's a slippery slope of civil rights.
Kerry Washington
I feel like I barely survived Django (Unchained) emotionally - the violence, hearing the N-word every day. It cost me a lot psychologically, but it was worth it to tell that story.
Kerry Washington
I don't have to be perfect. All I have to do is show up and enjoy the messy, imperfect and beautiful journey of my life.
Kerry Washington
You can be the lead in your own life.
Kerry Washington
You can never control how people respond to your work. You can only control your own work ethic.
Kerry Washington
As long as anyone anywhere is being made to feel less human, our very definition of humanity is at stake, and we are all vulnerable.
Kerry Washington
I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential. And I think also that, unlike a pianist or a flutist, an actor has an instrument that is constantly changing.
Kerry Washington
I get through the tough times through prayer and meditation. And I have really good friends and family, and a great therapist.
Kerry Washington
For me, self-love is like: Am I sleeping enough? Eating well? Not: Am I eating well to be able to fit into my skinny jeans? But: Am I eating well to be healthy and strong? And to acknowledge the good, because there is always a lot of good.
Kerry Washington
I wouldn't just come home from school and watch TV everyday, they had me involved in lots of local theatre. I was a very dramatic, talkative child. And that was part of my mother's creative solution - to put me in workshops and classes and children's theatre programmes.
Kerry Washington
I'd never really heard of financial abuse, although it makes so much sense when you hear it defined.
Kerry Washington
To meet somebody who's able to harness the level of courage it takes to walk away and to choose your own life and your own health, the well-being of your family, is really inspiring.
Kerry Washington
We don’t come out of the womb filled with prejudice, racism, and homophobia. Kids are taught to hate, so we have to protect our young people’s minds from those evils.
