Art curates compassion. Art to me breaks down walls and allows us to step into somebody else's shoes.

More quotes by Kerry Washington
I'd figure out ways to use role-playing in the healing of people.
Kerry Washington
I feel like any single woman of color who's been onstage has a Shakespeare monologue in her back pocket, and a monologue from 'For Colored Girls.' It's just part of what you should have, as a woman of color.
Kerry Washington
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
About a year ago I got really exhausted from reading bad scripts and I know that I am a writer and that I have stories to tell, so I thought, 'Let's do this!' So I'm co-writing a screenplay now with another screenwriter and loving it. Absolutely loving it. And I would like to be the producer on the project and of course the lead is me.
Kerry Washington
I think all of us in our lives feel like we can't make a difference or we can't make a change or it's too late or we're too tired or we're too scared.
Kerry Washington
I was really lucky because I went to an all-girl school and that single sex education really helped me because I really learned to bond with women and to not compete with or compare myself as much because we were all allowed to be ourselves and be unique and kind of have our unique strengths.
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
Study! Study ! Study! Get an education.
Kerry Washington
Look, I get it. Whether it's school, work, family, we've all got a lot on our minds. People say to me, I'm just too busy to think about politics. But here's the thing: You may not be thinking about politics, but politics is thinking about you.
Kerry Washington
The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river.
Kerry Washington
I think most people, when they think about the Black Panther Party, they think in very abstract, caricatured terms. They think about black fists in the air, but they don't think about the actual people, and the families, and the relationships.
Kerry Washington
We need to be willing to be uncomfortable, to be flawed, to be imperfect, to own our voice, to step into our light, so that we can continue to inspire other people and employ other people, and make room for more and more voices and presence.
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.
Kerry Washington
You may not be thinking about politics, but politics is thinking about you.
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.
Kerry Washington
I think my first big heartbreak made me more compassionate about other people's heartaches. It enabled me to feel more for others when they are in moments of pain.
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
I don't gravitate toward any one designer because I think of fashion as the costume of the everyday woman.
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
My understanding of Twitter was that it was a bunch of famous people telling you when they're going to the bathroom. And, that was not something I wanted to be part of.
