Denzel Washington

I've worked with children all my life.

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

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

I played Othello, but I didn't sit around thinking how Laurence Olivier did it when he played it. That wouldn't do me any good.

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

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that's their gift.

If you don't trust the pilot, don't go.

Dakota Fanning is a child, but she is a wonderful actor. I don't know what a child actor is. She's an actor who's a child.

When I was a child I thought I saw an angel. It had wings and kinda looked like my sister. I opened the door so some light could come into the room, and it sort of faded away. My mother said it was probably my Guardian Angel.

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

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.

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