Every artist, true artist, struggles with an overwhelming sense of feeling like you’re not worthy.

Viola Davis

I think that I’m coming off as the biggest alcoholic in the world.
VIOLA DAVIS

Balance Self Thinking
I’m a sitting duck. No, seriously, I mean I wish I could say more, but I’m a sitting duck because I can’t get ahead of them [cyber experts]. They’re far ahead of me. That’s what I learned: how vulnerable we are. It’s a big, silent monster out there. That’s what it feels like.
VIOLA DAVIS

Expectations Jobs People
[I listen to] “Uptown Funk”, Bruno Mars, sometimes even Nina Simone and Adele. Whatever comes up, whatever floats my boat, whatever makes me tap into something in me to just decompress – I listen to that.
VIOLA DAVIS

Careers Mom The End Of The Day
If the opportunity is not out there for you to play it, then you don’t see it.
VIOLA DAVIS

Desperate Situations Mother Two
I am the mother of a 6-year-old now, so that’s changed my entire perspective.
VIOLA DAVIS

Hair Hilarious Inspiring
People are just not impressed by me at home.
VIOLA DAVIS

Capacity To Love Hate Humanity
Any actor will tell you, as soon as your ego and your vanity come into the mix, it destroys your work. Completely destroys it.
VIOLA DAVIS

Heal Thinking
I just look at women sometimes and I just want to ask them, “Do you know how fabulous you are?”
VIOLA DAVIS

Fabulous Looks Want
That’s how I digest it, ’cause I can press the fast-forward button and I know that I’m gonna have to continue to be an actor, continue to make choices, continue to perform in a show every week.
VIOLA DAVIS

Mother Perspective Years
Womanhood is you. Womanhood is everything that’s inside of you.
VIOLA DAVIS

Daughter Heart Morning
I have been given a lot of roles that are downtrodden, mammy-ish.
VIOLA DAVIS

Colour Complicated People
We as artists cannot be politicians. We as artists can only be truth-tellers.
VIOLA DAVIS

Badass Color Opportunity
We grew up in abject poverty. Acting, writing scripts and skits were a way of escaping our environment at a very young age.
VIOLA DAVIS

Dream Mind Thinking
That’s why there’s so much bad acting out there, because you could see actors watching themselves.
VIOLA DAVIS

Downtrodden Given Roles
Ordinary people who are just kind of just going about their lives are transformed into heroes because they have the courage to put their voices out there. I think that’s a powerful message in this time of political strife.
VIOLA DAVIS

Impart Trying
In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful, white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line, but I can’t seem to get there now. I can’t seem to get over that line.
