Denzel Washington Quotations | Page 2

I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.

As an actor in the theater you're taught that you never play a bad guy. You have to love who you are. You can't say, "Oh, I'm a bad guy." How do you play that?

There's things that I can do as an actor that I couldn't do in any other form of life and I've got a strange personality. But film requires strange people, so I've got a nice comfy home.

Cats are too independent. They piss me off. They play when they want, and then they turn their back on you. Dogs, you throw the ball, and they bring it back, tongue hanging out, tail wagging. Cats are like "Not right now, too busy." Definitely a dog man. Except when it comes to cleaning up after them! Cats win that!

There are films that I don't like, and then someone will come up to me and say it's their favorite movie. The movies belong to the people. You make them and you put them out. For me, I love the process of making films. For me, my favorite film is always my next one.

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.

I'm a logic monster, if things don't make sense I gotta make sense of them.

I always think it's not what we know that's terrifying; it's what we don't know. That's sort of pervasive with everything in life.

Acting, it's not my life, my children and my family, that's life. I'll get up every morning, God willing, for that.

A sociopath will do anything to win. Anything.
