I haven't seen most of what I've done. I can't even list them. Most television jobs. I haven't seen a lot.
Viola DavisI just hope this [Emmy] is now a part of the status quo that women of color are included in the narratives that continue to write lead roles for us.
Viola DavisIām a black woman who is from Central Falls, Rhode Island. Iām dark skinned. Iām quirky. Iām shy. Iām strong. Iām guarded. Iām weak at times. Iām sensual. Iām not overtly sexual. I am so many things in so many ways and I will never see myself on screen. And the reason I will never see myself up on screen is because that does not translate with being black.
