Zitat des Tages von Isaiah Washington:
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.
Even if I'm playing a bad guy, I work hard to make him multi-leveled and interesting.
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.
I'm proud to say that I was that guy playing the character of Dr. Burke on 'Grey's Anatomy.'
The average person in Hollywood just assumes that if you're on a hit TV show, then that's the first thing you've ever done.
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 didn't know what gay was until I lived in New York for 10 years. You know, I was just underexposed in that regard.
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.
Not just art for art's sake, but I want to have films out there that will provoke authentic, holistic conversations about the human condition. And not provide the easy answers, but put it out there.
I've been so incredibly blessed. I've worked with some of the greatest professionals in town. I stood at the Golden Globes.
