"Show me a successful individual, and I'll show you someone who had positive influences in his or her life. The late Bob Stone, my mentor, was a former actor and professor at Fordham University. Bob was one of those influences in my life. He believed in me and gave me something to live up to... I am here by the grace of God, humility, and hard work"
- Denzel Washington
“We were talking about Ignatius' 'Spiritual Exercises', and Father Dan [Berrigan]said to me, in passing, ‘Did you know that Stanislavsky (who is the first modern theorist of acting, who kind of put a bible of acting together) based his book on Ignatius' 'Spiritual Exercises'?’” And a lightbulb went off in my head. It was like, I’m supposed to be here, in the middle of the jungle, to hear this. And it really changed something in me. I became very proud of the profession I had chosen, and the luck I was having. It had a real profound effect on me.”
