DENZEL WASHINGTON ON FRIENDS IN HOLLYWOOD!!
“But actually, even within the industry, I don’t have any actor friends. My friends are old friends. One’s an ex-music guy, the other’s a restaurant owner and the other’s an ex-pro ballplayer.”
DM: Sometimes its good to stick with the ones who been there for you through thick and thin. A true friend will always stand the test of time and always have your back no matter what.
DENZEL WASHINGTON ON WHY HE DON'T HAVE FRIENDS IN HOLLYWOOD!!
“Because I don’t make friends! Maybe I’m not a butt-kisser, maybe I’m not a schmoozer. I’m not about to go to a party to try to get a job. And then when you have children, the other friends become other parents.We’d coach baseball or basketball. My wife and I were raised right. I don’t want movie-star friends. And being African American, there were no big movie stars to hang out with anyway, not when I was starting out, they were just the third guy from the back! For whatever reason, I never befriended any white actors.”
DM: Fair to say that Denzel Washington has his head screwed on right. It takes a wise man to know when to hold & fold in this life.It makes all the difference in the outcome as to whether you succeed or fail.
