A lot of the women who have stepped forward - and I stand in solidarity with them - what they’re getting paid, which is half of what a man is getting paid, well we get probably a tenth of what a Caucasian woman gets. And I’m number one on the call sheet. And then I have to go in and I have to hustle for my worth.

Do not live someone else’s life and someone else’s idea of what womanhood is. Womanhood is you. Womanhood is everything that’s inside of you.

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny.
And Superman, all the DC Comics, and I’m not just saying that because I’m doing Suicide Squad. I just was in love. I just thought to myself because I was bullied growing up, I said, ’If I could be Wonder Woman I could take care of all the bullies, and I could be cute doing it.’

Do you remember the hunger as a child? Oh, yeah. I do. I just remember waking up every day and wondering what I was gonna eat, if I was gonna eat. People would look at me and go, “Oh, I know she’s poor.“ I would think, “Just give me some food and I can take care of the rest.” Just give me some fuel, you know? But there was such a shame and stigma attached to it. - Viola Davis
