Viola Davis Quotes

  • “The happily ever after comes after you’ve done the work.
  • The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is an opportunity.
  • [on why Meryl Streep is the greatest actress] Meryl Streep is the greatest actress because you can see so many different emotions going on in her eyes. … It’s a joy as an artist.
  • [on playing Annalise Keating in ‘How To Get Away With Murder’] The challenge for any writer, any artist, is to somehow combine art with the mess that we call life. I spent too much time in my career – probably too much – trying to force writers to write for me boldly. Well, you know what? This is it. This is bold.
  • People migrate toward material when they reach a certain age, especially if they’re a certain hue, certain gender. I have had so many wonderful film roles where I wasn’t on the show. It’s like being invited to a really fabulous party, only to hold up the wall. I wanted to be the show. I wanted to be a character that took me out of my comfort zone.
  • [on performing with Jeremy Irons in ‘Beautiful Creatures’] He’s a total hippie. Here’s this grand, talented man who counters it with just humility – very casual and loose. So it was a joy to work with him in the swamps.
  • [on roles for African-American actresses] You’re not doing the Irish and Scottish accents they taught at Juilliard. In the real world, you’re doing Ebonics and Jamaican.
  • The thing about the African-American community compared with the white community is, we are more concerned with image and message than execution. I don’t play roles that are necessarily attractive or portray a positive image. They are well-rounded characters. When you squelch excellence to put out a message it’s like passing the baton and seeing it drop.
  • [on undertaking the role of Aibileen in The Help (2011)]: I absolutely feel that she just had the nurturing instinct. You know, it’s like my mom. She’s said she’s taken care of kids since she was four years old, and she’s now sixty-eight. That’s all she knew, which was to take care of kids. She also had seventeen of her brothers and sisters and cousins and all of that – and she was always taking care of them. I myself was delivered by my grandmother.
  • [on why she’s not inspired to direct] 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.
  • We grew up in abject poverty. Acting, writing scripts and skits were a way of escaping our environment at a very young age.
