Denzel Washington

I was watching something interesting last night. I'm jumping all over the place. Yeah, go for it. This is already going better than last time. I was watching this thing about Herod. Man. Oh, King Herod. Oh, so this long special. I was like, man, he was a mess. See, he thought he could think his way around.

So he kept building things on higher and higher places and he's going to be up here looking down on everybody. And obviously he was a genius, but I guess he died in the worst way. I don't know. I don't remember.

That's a whole—you go down that hole, you'll never come out of that. I hope they enjoy the show, but I can't—I don't know what you need. I can't—we don't do a poll before the screening or before the play starts, and— There's some interesting themes of jealousy and envy and pain and death. And Kenny, brilliant director, he's putting in what he calls the near future.

So it's now, let's say, or near now. So all of those things, jealousy, envy, all of that, it takes on a whole new thing with the information age. What's your favorite line from Othello? I don't know.

Okay.

Okay.

Are they from him? Well, one's from Othello.

I am not what I am. He said it yesterday. He's a complicated guy. He's going to be brilliant in this. Who Jake Gyllenhaal is playing Iago. He's crazy. He's nuts. I love him. He's complicated. But he's already got a handle on it. You know, I can see how far ahead people are than me. I'm not worried about that because I don't like to learn the lines too soon.

I was telling a young actor, like, well, why don't you like to learn them too soon? I says, because then I'm the voice I'm listening to delivering the cues to myself. I want to hear it from you. And that's going to affect how I say what I say. So for me, that works. And to be quite honest, because I played it before, I still kind of remember it, but it's not word for word.

I'm seeing where I miss a word here, a word there. So it's not like I learned the first scene last night. And about an hour and a half, I ran a little bit with the kid this morning before I saw you. And I'm like, oh, okay, I'll be all right.

In a good way. In a good way. Oh, yeah, in a great way. Are you complicated? I'm sure, yeah. I hope so. I mean, you know, trying to thin the herd. Keep it simple. My mother used to say that. Keep it simple. That's hard to do. I'd like to tell you that this morning I woke up and started thinking about God. I woke up and started thinking about Othello. But then I said, but that's okay.
