Denzel Washington Quote

  • (on having to do publicity) I`m an actor, so that`s the bottom line. I`m not a marketing whatever. My strength does not lie in marketing a product called `Denzel.` That`s not what I do. My strength lies in playing a part and hopefully entertaining and affecting people on some level. Now I`m not being naive. I know that marketing comes into play when you`re spending 50 or 60 million dollars of other people`s money to make a film. You have to be involved in marketing that product. But the publicity gets to be boring. How many times can I tell the same story? I understand the importance of doing publicity for a film, so I`m willing to do that, but I don`t want to sit around talking about myself. That`s not a great day for me. That`s not my idea of fun.
