Denzel Washington Quotes

There’s all kinds of depictions of black men. You have the Denzel Washingtons and the Will Smiths; that’s wonderful, but that doesn’t represent everyone. There’s a Russell Crowe... well, you know, there’s a black Russell Crowe Picture Quote #1

The time to worrying about flying is when you’re on the ground. When you’re up in the air, it’s too late. No point in worrying about it then Picture Quote #1

I’m not interested in being a celebrity; I’m interested in being a better actor and a better director Picture Quote #1

You don’t know when you’re being watched. That’s one of the weird things about celebrity. It’s my least favorite part of acting, celebrity Picture Quote #1

Black or white good parts are hard to come by. A good actor with a good opportunity has a shot; without the opportunity it doesn’t matter how good you are Picture Quote #1

That’s where you can find things and modulate your performance and give the other actors something fresh to respond to. We’ve probably all worked with actors who when it’s suddenly your close up, they get sleepy. I don’t like that. It’s selfish acting, and I won’t tolerate it Picture Quote #1

I actually don’t hang out with any celebrities. My closest friends are old friends. And my real close friends, none of them are actors Picture Quote #1

[My father] could see as far as he could see and my mother wanted us to go to college so it was a very real part of my life Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re a color of paint on someone else’s palette. But as a director, it’s your canvas and you make the painting you want to make Picture Quote #1

Even though the story [Fences] is set during the 1950s, some contemporary women might have trouble understanding her decision Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That’s my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it’s not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question Picture Quote #1

I think a role model is a mentor - someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them Picture Quote #1

The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have. That’s what’s going to define you Picture Quote #1

You know, we don’t look much alike, but Denzel Washington would make a great sports agent Picture Quote #1

Whether you know who Denzel Washington is or you don’t, when he walks into the room, you’re going to pay attention, because he’s just such a powerful man Picture Quote #1

My parents are my major supporters. I look up to Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson and Jim Carrey. They have all opened my mind and helped me with my craft Picture Quote #1

I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors Picture Quote #1

Denzel Washington, Sidney Poitier, Robert Redford, Tom Cruise: those guys have well-planned careers. I’m just on a journey. Wherever I run across a job, I say, ‘Okay, I’ll do that.’ Picture Quote #1

Every year, Hollywood is looking for that new, white leading man and new white starlet that audiences fall in love with. But they’re not looking for the next Denzel Washington, Will Smith or Sidney Poitier Picture Quote #1

Had I done the movies that were offered to me in my prime, at the height of my career, I would have been alongside the likes of Denzel Washington. But, I chose not to do those movies Picture Quote #1

I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton... I wouldn’t mind seeing Dolly Parton. She’s from Tennessee, I’m from Tennessee Picture Quote #1

My mom graduated from the University of Michigan, which is a great school. Then she got her Master’s from NYU. She wanted to be an actress, so when she graduated, she had a dream, and she started following it. She moved to New York and took acting classes with people like Denzel Washington Picture Quote #1

I’m usually the guy who says, ‘Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington in the Siege’! Picture Quote #1

When most actors finally get to L.A., I think they expect to be the next Will Smith or Denzel Washington and that’s not the case Picture Quote #1

My favorite newer movie is Training Day. Denzel Washington is, to me, one of the greatest actors ever. The way he gets into those roles is ridiculous Picture Quote #1

I like Training Day very much. Denzel Washington’s performance was spectacular. I also like The Godfatherand Kill Bill. I love Tarantino’s mind and I believe that Kill Bill describes very well his mind and thoughts Picture Quote #1

Denzel [Washington] just knows the actor. He knows the process, and you don’t often get that Picture Quote #1
