Do not live someone else’s life and someone else’s idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you. Womanhood is everything that’s inside of you.

Daughter Heart Morning
All you really need to do is shift people just a tiny bit for change to happen. It doesn’t have to be huge and humongous.

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
I’ve always just simply seen myself as an actor. And I believe that it serves me well to just think in terms of my craft. If hypothetically, I saw myself only as a sex symbol, or as some other limited stereotype, I think I would feel like a complete failure.

Self-deprecation is not an answer to keeping one’s balance. I think that it’s very damaging.

Helping Ordinary People
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.

And this is what was fascinating to me about ‘The Help’; they were ordinary people who did extraordinary things.

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.

I would love to be remembered as a person who used her life to inspire others in any way, shape or form.
