They say the two most important days in a person’s life were the day you were born and the day you discover why you were born.

Viola Davis

Heal Thinking
As an artist, you’ve got to see the mess. That’s what we do. We get a human being, and it’s like putting together a puzzle. And the puzzle has got to be a mixture, a multifaceted mixture of human emotions, and not all of it is going to be pretty.

Needs People Tiny
Tyler Perry’s ‘Madea Goes to Jail!’ Which, I have to tell you, of everything that I’ve ever done in my career, that’s the only thing that’s perked up the ears of my nieces and nephews. That is it, that’s done it for them. That made me a bona fide star in their eyes!

I really wanted to show [in fences] a marriage that is working. Not perfect, but working.

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.

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 think sometimes what people miss about black people is that we’re complicated.
VIOLA DAVIS

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

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

Downtrodden Given Roles
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.
