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

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.
VIOLA DAVIS

Ideas Womanhood
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!

School Sexy Thinking
I think sometimes what people miss about black people is that we’re complicated.

Black Book Personal History
[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.

Careers Mom The End Of The Day

Eating bread in Hollywood is a no-no!

Age Escaping Writing
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.

Believe People The End Of The Day
Anything can be achieved with a good, healthy dose of courage.

Dose Good Health Healthy
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 think that you always want to gravitate towards people who absolutely are great at what they do and go for authenticity.
VIOLA DAVIS

Ends The End Of The Day World
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
Each role has its own different challenges.
