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.

More quotes by Taraji P. Henson
In my mind I'm like, No, Katherine Johnson it was you. It was your mind alone that got John Glenn to orbit the earth. He didn't say, Go get so in so. He said, Go get that smart girl. But that fact that that she sees the we in I, blew me away.
Taraji P. Henson
When you are portraying a person that is very real, in my case, Katherine Johnson is still alive, she is 98-years old there is a responsibility to get it right. I guess the biggest thing that I took away from Katherine was her humility. When you talk about superheroes there are selfless, they don't think about themselves, they put humanity first.

On my iPad, and I'm quite a fool for this, but I use Post-It notes to cover up the camera. It's just weird with that little eye there and sometimes it'll be green and I know I didn't turn it on. It's very spooky.

Once you're a mom, always a mom. It's like riding a bike, you never forget.

Love is the greatest gift that God has given us. It's free.

I'm not twentysomething. I'm not trying to find myself - I know exactly who I am and exactly what I want. And I don't want a fan. I want a man who understands me, who challenges me, who calls me on my sh-t instead of letting me get away with it because I'm supposed to be a star. I want a best friend.

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 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
At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I'm a good person.
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.

I would love to play a superhero. I wish I could be in 'The Avengers,' kicking butt.
Taraji P. Henson
I feel like I'm already a winner. I've made so many dreams come true. I'm here. Whether you walk away with a statue [ Emmy]or not, you shouldn't make it about it that necessarily. Everyone who's here in this house tonight is a winner.
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.
Taraji P. Henson
I'm always the cousin that can't make it to the family functions because I'm busy.
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
Date a woman with children only if you are ready to man up, because it's a position that comes with responsibility.
Taraji P. Henson
What gives me the greatest satisfaction is the number of people I can affect with my gift, with what I do. That's the most important thing to me, more important than any trophy or award.
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
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.
