The first time I mentioned publicly that I had known Viola for some time, many people took it like Viola got me the job in 'Fences'.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Viola Davis is a perfect example of somebody who's so much better than the parts she has the opportunity to play.
Viola Davis should be a household name. So should Angela Bassett.
'Blanche' opened a new door for me without really making me more famous. 'Blanche' was a risk, but that is the only thing that excites me in this profession. The knowledge that I am an actress who takes risks lifts my soul.
I love Viola Davis. I call her 'Queen.' I think she's phenomenal. She's so raw and so bold. When I first saw her was in 'Doubt,' and she just changed everything for me. Her performance was unlike anything I had ever seen before, and I think she's phenomenal.
I actually played violin on 'E.T.' I used to be a violinist.
As a child, I studied violin. My sister, who's 10 years older, was the actress in the family. I was painfully shy.
I used to play violin, but I wasn't very good!
I tried to learn the violin for a while.
I was a go-go dancer, too. I called myself 'Grace Mendoza' to fool my parents.
It takes generosity to discover the whole through others. If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to the world by playing your role in the concert.
