[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

When your passion and drive are bigger than your fears, you just dive.
VIOLA DAVIS

Bigger Passion
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.
VIOLA DAVIS

Believe People The End Of The Day
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
I think that I’m coming off as the biggest alcoholic in the world.
VIOLA DAVIS

Balance Self Thinking
At the end of the day, nobody can tell you how to tackle failure or how to handle change. The world is very good at encouraging you to go along with the status quo and at basking in your successes.
VIOLA DAVIS

Artist Mixtures Together
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.
VIOLA DAVIS

Ems Girl Looks
When you pray, God puts people in your life to lead you when you cannot lead yourself.
VIOLA DAVIS

People People In Your Life Praying
Relationships change us and make us grow.
VIOLA DAVIS

Inspire Shapes Way
Sometimes you see how humanity can rise above any kind of cultural ills and hate that a person’s capacity to love and communicate and forgive can be bigger than anything else.
VIOLA DAVIS

Awards Important Opportunity
Sometimes you take a job for the money, sometimes you take it for the location, sometimes you take it for the script; there are just a number of reasons, and ultimately what you see is the whole landscape of it. But I can tell you from behind the scenes – that’s what it is, as an actor.
VIOLA DAVIS

Educational Niece Running
Every artist, true artist, struggles with an overwhelming sense of feeling like you’re not worthy.
VIOLA DAVIS

People Thinking Want
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
I don’t have any time to stay up all night worrying about what someone who doesn’t love me has to say about me.
VIOLA DAVIS

Night Up All Night Worry
Self-deprecation is not an answer to keeping one’s balance. I think that it’s very damaging.
VIOLA DAVIS

Helping Ordinary People
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 can’t deal with actors! I can’t deal with myself. We’re neurotic and miserable… I love doing what I’m doing, but while I’m doing it, I’m miserable.
