Taraji P. Henson

With TV, the pace is so fast, the scripts are coming at you, the directors are firing things at you, it's breathtaking.

I'm always confident when I sign up for a project that it's going to be good. That's why I sign up for it.

Singing is something I can do, but it's not my first passion.

I'm a character actor.

With TV, you get on a show and you're there for 11 years playing the same character. I would pull my hair out. Yes, the money is good. But I'm really not in this business to chase dollars.

I'm a creative person, so I have to stay busy.
