Viola Davis

She’s a genuinely great actress and I’m glad she’s finally getting some much deserved attention/acclaim. It’s too bad it’s not for a better film.

Truth.

I was eight years old when I decided to be an actor. And I am just so privileged to be gazing on the beautiful face of the woman who inspired me that beautiful day, and that’s Cicely Tyson.

And when I woke up and realized how difficult it was to be an actor, and how the rejection was so high, then another beautiful face graced the screen when I was in college, and that was Meryl, who just …always inspires me.

But there’s so many people involved in The Help, in lieu of mentioning all them, I just have to say that, what is there but a dream? You can’t trade in your dream for another dream. I am so proud to be an actor, and I thank the Screen Actors Guild for this award.

And I have a special, special note to the kids in Central Falls, Rhode Island, in Segue Institute of Learning in Central Falls, Rhode Island: to dream big and dream fierce.

Thank you very much.

The stain of racism and sexism, is not just for people of color or women, it’s all of our burden, all of us. and we absolutely, I don’t care how ordinary you may feel, we, all of us can inspire change, every single one of us.
