Viola Davis

I don’t want anyone putting any limits on me.

Limits Want
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny.
VIOLA DAVIS

Destiny Dreams Please
I think that you always want to gravitate towards people who absolutely are great at what they do and go for authenticity.

Inspire Shapes Way
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.

Art Differences Night
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.
VIOLA DAVIS

Grows
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

VIOLA DAVIS

Educational Niece Running
I want to span different genres. I want to be able to transform. I want to be able to be sexy, and funny, and quirky, and all the other things that I am. And I feel that the best way that I can achieve that is by producing.
VIOLA DAVIS

Actors Deals Miserable
Actor is just a strange profession, it really is, that you could be in front of the same people for years, and all of a sudden one thing happens, and it finally clicks.
