Derek Luke Quotes

How is it that Derek Luke has a net worth of $5 Million? These quotes by the actor may indicate the character traits that led to his financial situation:

I was watching TV at age 9 or 10, and my mom said that I came from the front room and I told her that I want to act. And she said if you want to do this at 18, then you can. It was a very simple story, yet, I do not even remember the conversation that I had with my mother. Until she reminded me of the story many years later.

Denzel Washington invoked confidence. When you have confidence, you can do anything. And that's what happened. I learned about being honest and keeping it true, keeping it true in my performance.

In my heart of hearts I believe I was made to entertain.

Derek Luke

Antwone's story was a story of hope and that's what appealed to me. I needed hope myself at that time. I think all actors give up at some time and think they're never going to make it.

Derek Luke

Denzel Washington is a person I will always emulate. I emulate him because he focuses on real life. Because of that he has made me a better person.
