Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.

I like to make money, I like to have nice things. But I love to act, I love to tell stories.

I'm not a machine. I get really motivated, then I fall off the wagon and want to eat Chinese food and sit on my couch and gain five or 10 pounds!

I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.

It's no accident that I'm not married and don't have kids yet.

I got country music in me.

It's okay to put your heart on your sleeve. Okay to have that softer side - the softer side in the sense of being able to listen, to deal with fear, to not always be so dominant.
