I'm a human being first and foremost, and I have something to say that I think is worthwhile. 'Blue Caprice' is just the second installment of so much more coming.

Whatever I'm throwing out the...

Whatever I'm throwing out there in my work, you either catch that detail because you're ready to catch it, but if you're not, that's OK - you're still being entertained.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

I only became an actor to get your attention, to challenge the archetype of an African American male; I can't be anything else in this lifetime than an African American man.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

I hate the term 'black' becau...

I hate the term 'black' because it doesn't bring to life who we are as a people. The term 'black' has more negative synonyms than the term white.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

Not only our political system...

Not only our political system is broken, but how we do business and have public discourse with one another. The system in Hollywood, specifically, is not depicting people of color; we're not even talking about Asian Americans or Latino Americans; we're not even getting into that question.

I've been so incredibly blessed. I've worked with some of the greatest professionals in town. I stood at the Golden Globes.

It's, like, bigots want to embrace me, and I politely take their arms from around my neck. I don't share their views - never have.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

Everything is not black-and-w...

Everything is not black-and-white. I'm really interested in the gray area - not justifying it, not glorifying it, not condoning it, but at least having people see there's a genesis for every event in our lives. There's some divine order to it, whether it's ugly or beautiful.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

The whole time I was on 'Grey...

The whole time I was on 'Grey's,' I'm still reconciling myself to my 11-year-old son, because he never saw me during that time. By the time he got up, he'd see a dent in his pillow, but by the time I got home, he was already asleep. So for three years, he had a daddy that he never saw because I had to work.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

I'm no longer going to play t...

I'm no longer going to play thugs or debauched cops that I can't possibly make complex characters. I'm bigger than that. I owe too much to too many good people at the Goodman, Arena and Playwrights Horizons.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

I would still work with Mel Gibson! He's talented, man! Come on, he came up with 'Apocalypto,' man! I want to work with this guy. I've worked with Steven Seagal. He's out of his mind. I mean, I've worked with Spike Lee for four films. I've worked with some people that you can say are right there teetering between genius and madness.

I am not homophobic - in no way, shape or form.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

People forget that it's an ac...

People forget that it's an acting assignment. You can work with someone for three months, three years or 30 years, and then you move on. I've done I don't know how many films, and I can look at the film and know that I worked with Clint Eastwood, but I'm not still trying to hang out with Clint Eastwood. We did our jobs.

I enjoy bringing humanity to complex characters.

Seek the truth. Tell the truth. Live in truth.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

I firmly believe that we are ...

I firmly believe that we are all given signs and dreams and put in situations that define who we were and who we are to become. All of it points towards our destiny. All we need to do is listen carefully to the messages and follow our dreams. It is in our dreams that we find our true identities and where our destiny awaits.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

You don't want to be on a show that no one wants to see, and then think your phone is going to be ringing off the hook to do other jobs. I'm not tethered to the fact that my demise may be reached this season or next season, or whatever.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

Everything is not black-and-white . I'm really interested in the gray area - not justifying it, not glorifying it, not condoning it, but at least having people see there's a genesis for every event in our lives. There's some divine order to it, whether it's ugly or beautiful.

Isaiah Washington 14 quotes

You need a blueprint to build a house because you need to know how far the concrete is going to be poured and you need to know how think the walls have to be.

I didn't know what gay was until I lived in New York for 10 years. You know, I was just underexposed in that regard.
