    Denzel is a marvel to me. He seems to be one of the most well rounded, successful and grounded people, content, good family man, in touch with and true to himself but still pro level at playing the game, managing navigating the world and achieving the life he wants, great sense of humor, spiritual, humble... I mean, the man seems to KNOW how to live life. He seems like someone that anyone would be blessed to be able to be close to and learn from. The thing about Denzel isn't really that he's attractive or that he's great at his craft, it's that he's Denzel, he's living life on another level and is just so damn respectable.

    I've been following Denzel Washington since St. Elsewhere days. I'm an actor mainly because of him (though it was in me as a kid). This was probably one of the BEST interviews I've ever seen with him!!! Throughout this who segment, I felt the human side of him. And it was great to see how he knows how to not let the stardom get to his head. I plan on watching this again because it felt as if I was there with you all, just hangin' out in the bodega. LOL HUGE CREDIT TO DESUS AND MERO for your style, being so laid back but being incredibly respectful and humble with who you have in your presence. You're great representatives for New York and I hope people know that and are proud of you. PROPS PROPS PROPS! Damn, this was fantastic!!!!
