Denzel Washington

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

My ultimate life dream project is my kids. My family.

My mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.

It's simple: You get a part. You play a part. You play it well. You do your work and you go home. And what is wonderful about movies is that once they're done, they belong to the people. Once you make it, it's what they see. That's where my head is at.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don't dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.

Man gives you the award but God gives you the reward.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.
