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.

More quotes by Taraji P. Henson
I'm constantly proving myself. I have to always prove myself. There are roles where I feel like, That should have been a straight offer. Why am I having to call my people and fight for it?
Taraji P. Henson
I really wish Hollywood would stop labeling movies, especially movies with predominantly black casts. Then, it makes others feel like, Oh, well, that's not for me. At the end of the day, everybody understands love, loss, pain and heartbreak. That's not a color.
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
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!

With camera phones and, you know, iPad's and cameras at stoplights, it's like I just want to drive around with a bag on my head because I just feel like everyone's watching.
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.

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
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
I'm not a selfish actor. I believe that it's a team effort. You're not in a scene by yourself.
Taraji P. Henson
My first big heartbreak proved to me that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Taraji P. Henson
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.
Taraji P. Henson
I like to disappear in my roles because I don't have an assistant.
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
Katherine Johnson passion for math, the way I light up when I get asked questions about acting is the way her eyes danced when she talked about math and how she wanted people to fall in love with numbers the way that she did. If I had a teacher like that, I could have been a rocket scientist.
Taraji P. Henson
I'm always the cousin that can't make it to the family functions because I'm busy.
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 love the art of acting, so I don't care if I'm in a movie with 10 people, two people, or by myself. I just really enjoy it.
Taraji P. Henson
A lot of times characters are combinations of people I come across in life. I people-watch a lot.
