Anyway, I'm doing my rave and this spittle comes out of my mouth and it winds its way very delicately through the wire fence that separates us and lands clear and bright on Denzel's lip. And we're at the beginning of the scene and I've got to do the rest of the scene, and the camera isn't on him, it's on me - and I'm fully aware that I've just spat on Denzel Washington!

Russell Crowe

He is a regular guy who absolutely is not attracted to his own celebrity. He's a jokester, a little rough around the edges, with great heart and compassion; he loves his family. I feel very comfortable with him. I don't see 'Denzel Washington Star'; I just see Denzel.

Viola Davis

The streets of New York are diverse, but when you go into a Broadway show, unless Denzel Washington is in it, or Fantasia's in it, it's a lot of old white people and gay men.

Billy Eichner

I really want my acting to be definitive a lot of times, but I must feel like in any given moment there is a lot of things going on with Rose. I kept telling Denzel [Washington] throughout filming [Fences] that the house is her joy and her tomb.

Viola Davis

When I hear people comparing Mike's [Jordan] work to Denzel [Washington] I think it's amazing.. Because Denzel is such an amazing, textured actor. And I think that that comes with Mike too. I'm not thinking about how they look, though; I'm thinking about what they're able to accomplish.

Michael B. Jordan

I watch Denzel Washington films with subtitles.

Bojan Krkic

Denzel Washington is someone I look up to.

Dayo Okeniyi

I'm usually the guy who says, 'Bruce Willis and Denzel Washington in the Siege'!

Jim Cummings

I like 'Denzel Washington is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period' podcast.

Paul F. Tompkins

I'm not going to buy a magazine to read about Denzel Washington's personal life.

Michael Clarke

I'm a big fan of Denzel Washington, and when I met him, he was just cool. And I was glad.

Diamond Dallas Page

Denzel Washington's career is an enormous luxury. Compare him to Wesley Snipes.

Alec Baldwin

A lot of people... kind of make heroes that are separate from us, people who are, you know, like... John Wayne and Errol Flynn and, you know, Denzel Washington... people who are different, who are larger than life.
