"Iâ€™m a black woman who is from Central Falls, Rhode Island. Iâ€™m dark skinned. Iâ€™m quirky. Iâ€™m shy. Iâ€™m strong. Iâ€™m guarded. Iâ€™m weak at times. Iâ€™m sensual. Iâ€™m 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."

-- Viola Davis
