"Can I just tell you, I think it's the most beautiful thing about young people today, it gives me so ..." — Viola Davis

The only thing that separates women of color from everyone else is opportunity.

There's no prerequisites to worthiness. You're born worthy, and I think that's a message a lot of women need to hear.

I don't know how I got a great husband. I mean, God just blessed me with that one. Because - trust me - before him, I was not making good choices. So I was just absolutely blessed. I just prayed for that man He's my secret weapon because he's so gregarious, and he's so filled with joy. Me? I can sometimes be more cynical, and I'm very shy.

I was the kind of poor where I knew right away I had less than everyone around me. Our environment, our physical space reflected our income.
