- The Hurricane star Denzel Washington says he rarely likes the scripts he is sent.
- The 57-year-old actor, who also directs and produces films, said he is a "logic monster" and has to run through his parts with his movie colleagues before he is happy with them, reported Contactmusic.
- "Nine times out of nine the script is not there to my liking. And I'm a logic monster. If things don't make sense, I gotta make sense out of them, and you get into the process," he said.
- Washington has won two Oscars during his career and he also said that it may have made those who vote at the Academy Awards more aware of what other African-American actors were doing in their careers.
- "You have to have a part to play, first, that's the bottom line. You don't get nominated unless you have a great role to play and you interpret the role well. So maybe it shifted voters' attention to what certain African-Americans were doing. What Jamie Foxx did in Ray was phenomenal, it couldn't be denied," he said.
- "Jamie was almost a phenomenon, he was Ray. The fact that I'd won a couple of years earlier, maybe that did help for white voters to say, 'Hey, look at Jamie Foxx over here,' when they may not have prior to that. I don't know. But maybe, maybe," he added.
