I’ve been so incredibly blessed. I’ve worked with some of the greatest professionals in town. I stood at the Golden Globes. Isaiah Washington Read Quote
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. Isaiah Washington Read Quote

I’m proud to say that I was that guy playing the character of Dr. Burke on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ Isaiah Washington Read Quote
The whole time I was on ‘Grey’s,’ I’m still reconciling myself to my 11-year-old son, because he never saw me during that time. By the time he got up, he’d see a dent in his pillow, but by the time I got home, he was already asleep. So for three years, he had a daddy that he never saw because I had to work. Isaiah Washington Read Quote
I only became an actor to get your attention, to challenge the archetype of an African American male; I can’t be anything else in this lifetime than an African American man. Isaiah Washington Read Quote

Even if I’m playing a bad guy, I work hard to make him multi-leveled and interesting. Isaiah Washington Read Quote
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. Isaiah Washington Read Quote
