More quotes by Taraji P. Henson
If I were to meet the most incredible man, and he just so happened to not make as much money as I do, I wouldn't hold it against him.
Taraji P. Henson
I don't think about other people. They are not walking in my shoes. They are not paying my bills. What makes me happy is when I do what I like to do, for me.
Taraji P. Henson
I'm really silly. That's the thing that people don't get. I think I'm a stronger comedic actress than I am a dramatic actress. I'm not really pigeonholed, but I'm known for drama. I do comedy so easily, and people relate to my humor. I'll be glad because I don't have to stay sexy and young forever. I don't care if I'm big, as long as I'm funny.
Taraji P. Henson
My first big heartbreak proved to me that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I talked to Katherine Johnson, and I tried to make it weighty by asking things like, How as a Black woman did you do your work in NASA? They were misogynistic, and I'm sure you got called the n-word. She was just like, Well, that was the way it was. I just did my job. I wanted to do my job. She was just so humble.

When I get that question, about diversity, I don't go, Yeah, well you know they don't pay me. That's not my story. I own six properties Hollywood has been damn good to me. Now you can ask me, Have they paid you what you deserve? That's the question, but you'd have to go to the studios, I don't know. I do the work!
Taraji P. Henson
Something happens to a woman when she can't reproduce. I've not had to walk that path, but I can only imagine when your organs don't work and how that could make you feel.
Taraji P. Henson
I like to be home with my son, kickin' it and watching ESPN, a very normal life. I like to take him to school every day, watch his games.
Taraji P. Henson
There is always going to be love versus hate we struggle with that as humans within ourselves every day as a society, we have to struggle. So when you wake up, you have to decide which side you're going to be on. Hopefully, that side is positive, so you do the work and hope that your legacy will help change things.
Taraji P. Henson
Humans have a light side and a dark side, and it's up to us to choose which way we're going to live our lives. Even if you start out on the dark side, it doesn't mean you have to continue your journey that way. You always have time to turn it around.
Taraji P. Henson
I like to be scared. I don't like feeling like Oh, this is going to be a walk in the park. If I ever get to that place, I'll just stop acting.
Taraji P. Henson
I don't think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. You don't have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that.
Taraji P. Henson
I like to disappear in my roles because I don't have an assistant.
Taraji P. Henson
When I go home to visit, they never treat me like a celebrity. They still treat me like TJ. If I leave dishes in the sink, they'll let me know.
Taraji P. Henson
I would love to play a superhero. I wish I could be in 'The Avengers,' kicking butt.
Taraji P. Henson
Improvisation helps because you get what's on the page and you make it a little more palatable to your tongue. And that's the beauty of creating and being spontaneous. That's the way I love to work.
Taraji P. Henson
I don't ever want to get boxed in, playing the same characters, over and over again. That's why I prefer features over television.
Taraji P. Henson
It's an important moment [win an Emmy]. I just feel like I want it to happen tonight, either for myself or Viola [Davis] so we can get past it, so it's not big news anymore. I mean, it is 2015. We have a black president.
Taraji P. Henson
If I feel like I've reached this greatness in my career than there's no more room for growth. I don't think I'm ever going to get there. If I ever get complacent, it's time for me to bow out.
