Viola Davis Quotes About School

• When you're working as an actor, you don't think that when you get out of school, it's going to be so hard to get a job. Just to get a job. Any job. Whatsoever. You don't think that people are going to see you in a certain way. Uta Hagen said this, "In my life, I see myself as just this, you know, kind of flamboyant, kind of sexy middle-aged woman. And then I see myself onscreen, and I go 'Oh my God.'" And it's the same thing with me. I didn't see myself any different from my white counterparts in school. I just didn't!

• I didn't see myself any different from my white counterparts in school. I just didn't! I thought I could do what they did.

I had no idea that they would see me completely different.

• Estoy muy comprometida con sus instituciones educativas, incluido el programa de arte dramático de mi alma mater, Central Falls High School, porque sé que fue lo que me hizo empezar. Hago todo lo que puedo para mantenerlo vivo, ya que me hizo sentir que tenía algo que dar al mundo. También apoyo al Segue Institute for Learning, una escuela concertada de Central Falls dirigida por un amigo mío a la que asiste mi sobrina. Estoy comprometida con ella por sus resultados probados. Tienen los mejores resultados en matemáticas de todas las escuelas concertadas de Rhode Island.
