Just in these two minutes, THIS THE MOST I EVER BEEN INSPIRED! THANK YOU DENZEL!

“I am particularly proud and happy about the young FILMMAKERS, ACTORS, singers, WRITERS, PRODUCERS that are coming up behind my generation, in particular Barry Jenkins @bandrybarry, “Young people understand, this young man made 10, 15, 20 short films before he got the opportunity to make #Moonlight so never give up."

"Without commitment you'll never start, but more importantly without consistency you'll never finish."
.
"It's not easy. If it were easy, there'd be no Kerry Washington @kerrywashington. If it were easy, there'd be no Taraji Henson @tarajiphenson. If it were easy, there'd be no Octavia Spencer @therealoctaviaspencer. But not only that, if it were easy, there'd be no Viola Davis @violadavis. If it were easy, there'd be no Mykelti T. Williamson @mykeltiwmson. No Stephen McKinley Henderson @stephenmckinleyhenderson. No Russell Hornsby #RussellHornsby. If it were easy, there'd be no Denzel Washington #DenzelWashington. .
.

So, keep working. Keep striving. Never give up.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship.
So, keep moving, keep growing, keep learning. See you at work."

If it were easy, there'd be no ERIK MCKAY #stoRAGE
