I didn’t realise that Ridley Scott has never won an Academy Award.

I don’t concern myself with award. I’d been to the party enough times to know it really didn’t matter.

I get nervous when a picture goes beyond two hours.

I got on my knees and sort of communicated with the spirits. When I came out, I was in charge. I couldn’t have acted that, I couldn’t have written that.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

I have a new respect for filmmakers, that’s for sure, ’cause it’s not easy. If I’m allowed to, I’ll be directing for the rest of my life. I love the process.

Denzel Washington

I just try to be honest and true to the character and play the part.

Denzel Washington

I know, as an actor, I don’t like sharing everything with the director. And it’s fine if they don’t with me.

Denzel Washington

I love research and being educated. It’s a great job being able to step into all kinds of professions and into other people’s shoes.
