"If it ain't on the page it ain't on the stage." Damn, that's so true. Denzel Washington is truly inspirational
Mr. Washington is a true hero. God bless him.
"Just write your own [GODDAMN] Stories." - Denzels' words and mine
Denzel is fucking awesome. He's in my Top 5 favorite actors of all time. I've seen every movie he's ever made.
BigBadRyan86 he's my actor !
Will Smith cried and said "please give us black actors an Oscar" ....
Denzel manned up and said "I'm going to produce films for black actors".
Begging vs. doing
Amen!
actions vs words
Man vs Toddler Brass Balls vs No Balls
Jordan Peele's doing the same thing, but he gets criticism lol.
Smith is awful actor
Denzel is a true *Washington* 💪🏿🇺🇸
man whenever denzel talks it gives me chills. a true artist of his craft. him and morgan freeman are true inspirations
Van Damn. An artist who know his history and has integrity. Wow!!
If you're good you're in, I don't care what colour, creed, culture or anything you are.
What he says at 1:35 is the reason why I am doing everything I can to finish writing a script I am currently working on that, although fits into today's typical presentation in films in some aspects, shows something just a little different (if we're talking just African-American roles). Now of course this is not my primary goal as an artist with all things I do, but it will definitely be fully present in terms of what I'd like to convey through my work.
kinardak hope you make it!
thank you very much! If you wanna keep track of what I do as an artist, go here > www.imdb.com/name/nm2918887/ or you can visit my channel for other links to my work.
Aww...thank you very much!! I actually did finish the script. I am currently seeking a producer for the film. It's going to be a challenging process, but in the end it'll all be worth it. And it's definitely one of many other film ideas I plan to move forward with. Denzel is truly an inspiration to me....I don't expect to have the resume that he has, especially because his first film was done when he was 22 (The Wilma Rudolph Story - which is how he met his wife Pauletta, by the way). I just turned 41 this year....so a bit of a later start for me. But it's all good. Thank you for the good energy!!
Good luck and don't quit.
Denzel is a real motivation, doesn't complain or give excuses that people want to hear, but talks about what he had offer rather than what was offered to him
Denzel Is 1 man I would vote for president he says the truth and actually says wtf is real and thinks about what and how it comes out of his mouth!
#MadRespectNGoodFather
Edward Daniel Gonzalez Jr Denzel Washington Has Common Sense!!! Denzel And His Wife Pauletta Raised 4 Amazing Children...Out Of The Spotlight!!!
I would as well! Great man!
I'm on the other side of the planet an I would vote for him as president. His views on fatherhood show exactly what kind of amazing man Denzel is.
Mr.Densely you have a blessed talent! Your stage presence, is as awesome as your personality. May God Always Bless You & Your Family.
I have a great amount of respect for Mr. Washington as an actor and a human being.He has what a lot of today's youth are lacking.Common Sense
Nailed it. If it's not on the page, it can never be on the stage.
Get to writing those stories, make em good, pick good actors and you'll find, people will admire not just you, but your work.
What a gift this Man is to humanity. He is humble yet steadfast in his convictions. He is not easily baited, using his intellect and reasoning to leave his interviewer and audience pondering self examination. This Man has been my favorite human being for years. Dignified yet so approachable, l love how he carries himself with such grace and dignity. A gift from God this man is, a true treasure.
If it ain’t on the page it ain’t in the stage! I love that! That’s my motivation moving forward.
Me. Washington mentioned Hattie McDaniel in this clip as someone who paved the way for black actors. I wonder how he feels about the "cancelling" of Gone With the Wind, basically erasing her role as Mammy, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.
I can literally watch Gone With The Wind right now on HBO Max. How exactly did they "cancel" it?
Denzel is completely going against the PC, woke narrative of black people are oppressed and need to be catered for. He's talking in a way that is both empowering and educational.
^
Denzel has been such an amazing father role for generations of all colors, creeds, walks of lives. Thank you sir!!
Denzel Washington is an amazing man in so many ways!!
Shoutout to 50 cents too. Dude is making a huge difference
If she stop talking over them & listen. You got a legend right in front of you telling you what's up, SHUT UP & listen!
Love it, not just pointing fingers expecting everyone else to do things for you, DW will make sure to take personal responsibility in making things happen, making change happen. Action, not words.
Denzel Washington has been my favorite actor since 1999 and I’m not black.
Right On Denzel!
Thank you Denzel!! Well said!!
An educated well thought out man who is an inspiration. To many people listening to influencers and not to Icons
Denzel, thank you
"Hand me that crowd pleaser". -Denzel Washington Virtuisoty
Denzel is humanity.
Zero victim mentally. Love this man
Denzel Washington is a scholar & gentleman! Very insightful!
I've loved this man for over 30 years!
People are so obsessed about color or making everything about race. Denzel is in all the best movies because he is the standard by which other male actors are judged. My favorite movie is the Book of Eli...no better MAN, not black man, MAN for the role.
happy his son is in acting now I had no idea his son was who he was. More americans need to be taught in theater 🎥
Denzel que Dios tr siga Benficiendo !
Denzel is amazing
Denzel. So well spoken. He's a good man.
I know some people have problems with certain things that Washington has said on this matter, but he does seem sincere in wanting to do what he can for the next generation of storytellers. I prefer this and think it's much more effective than the wishy-washy Hollywood Liberal 'I take responsibility' thing.
He's a great actor, and seems like a very grounded, principled man.
Denzel for president
Denzel is one of my fav actors ever. My next fav is Kevin Bacon.
"if it aint on the page" he is very insightful
Thanks you wise Sir ❤️
1:17 John Q face” my son’s gonna live, I’ll do whatever I gotta do for him to live”
Denzel is a unique soul. And he doesn't seem to age???
Love Denzel
i respect denzel hes writing stories unlike Disney who's changing written stories to fit a narrative. just write new stories
Training Day ✌
LOVE DZ!!!!!
Great man....right vision
Great explanation
Why does it seem that there tryna force denzel to be a victim. Like he said make your own Shit it's that simple
If it ain't on the page it ain't on the stage!!
I wish I could get in touch with Denzel and show him a story.
That interviewer is irritating me
Martin Life she lacks experience, but it could be that she is talking to one of the most influential male actors in the country. He's in control of the interview.
Martin Life, I thought it was just me!
Who are you, Mike Tyson?
Very irritating.
Seriously. Shut up and let the man speak. Good interviewers know when to do that. Bad interviewers try to control every aspect of the interview.
Denzel is the best !
Denzel Washington to ideał mężczyzny ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Which is why hollywood has ignored many of his movies since promoting the culture problem pointing out its not color. When Shaprio said the same thing, people gasped. See how this works?
like... aspiring much?? ✊🏾
inspired
I love him so much
The video’s title implies something he didn’t say and mischaracterizes what he did say.
Denzel's accomplishments demand respect.
bad host/interviewer
Thanks you Mr Denzel Washington for letting that new lady no what up.Like all of you said there were black be for me that open the door for me and I am going to do the same thing and wish he have.
Natalie Portman and 27 other people disliked that.
How about the roles for European American actors...imagine that being uttered?
Denzel schooled that white lady in black body again and again.
Denzel using that "people who look like me" line. What a disappointment. So, 20, 30, 40.....years ago, people like Danny Glover, Bill Cosby, James Earl Jones, Sidney Poitier, Billy Dee Williams, etc.....weren't getting work in Hollywood? You made your first movie in 1977. Shut up.
Denzel was Always my favorite actor. But, now he's my favorite nigga ....lol. Kidding my bad!
It’s sad we don’t know our own history.
In short, stop crying and work.
Is steve in her belly? 1:14
Completely misleading title.
I never met a white woman that didn't say sidney was'nt a handsome man ,
It would be so nice. If America would distinguish with the humanity and not by color. Just as Denzel explains. It's purely cultural differences. Not different color of the skin? I mean is our society so racist. That we will never stop talking negatively or demeaning certain people by color? And not by their cultural differences? Sighhhh
PLEASE CREATE ROLES FOR LATINO ACTORS TOO!!!
Manuel: You're not paying attention to DW, pana. Why don't YOU create a role for a latino character? Or find someone who can if you can't.
write the story your self son!! smh
Why do so many scream for diversity in Hollywood yet they tolerate little or no diversity in the executive suites of the MPAA studios? Here's your answer in a movie not "coming to a theater near you:" ua-cam.com/video/evYyDsmSzdo/v-deo.html
Do these people actually care about all minorities? Or just black minorities?
What they say applies to every minority. Listen and learn.
A vow hes clearly broken
What a bs. There were no black actors in 80's or 90's? Really?
I think I have even saw Africans in 70's movies, like Shaft or Enter the Dragon. But what do I know? I have to have black spots on my eyes. Since those illusions.
How you gon b 60+....LOOKIN better than some 20 yrs old.... get outta here...(call me)
This interviewer is the worst.
STOP TALKING ABOUT RACE
You’ll never hear a white actor talk like Denzel.
That's what they did. They just got on and did it. They created the work and acted it out on film. That's what it takes.
I ll never understand the expression african American what about asian Americans and euro Americans the only real American are the Indians
There are American
Spike is garbage
How is he inspirational? Does he ever expose paedophilia in Hollywood? ... didn't think so.
Ashleigh Connor you are sad
Show us on the doll where Harvey touched you
