Denzel Washington made the news recently for his very pertinent comment to Will Smith after the infamous slap on Chris Rock at the Oscars: “At your highest moment be careful, that’s when the devil comes for you.” Many people were impressed by the thoughtful quote from the actor, whose father was an ordained Pentecostal minister. But, in fact, it’s not surprising because throughout his career Washington has often made comments that indicate that the only fan who really matters to him is God. The Hollywood legend, known for hits such as Glory and Man on Fire, has happily spoken of his faith in various interviews. Here are some quotes from Denzel that really make you sit up and think:
"What I do, what I make,
what I made — all of that — is that going to help me on the last day of my
life? It’s about ‘Who have you lifted up? Who have we made better.'”
“If
you don’t have a spiritual anchor you’ll be easily blown by the wind and you’ll
be led to depression.”
“My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my
happiness, my inner peace.”
“True
desire in the heart for anything good is God’s proof to you sent beforehand to
indicate that it’s yours already.”
“Talent
comes from God. If you have been given some, then value it, cultivate it, work
and develop it.”
