    She is literally so phenomenal, like I can’t…. I also get so frustrated when people call her the ‘black Meryl Streep.’ She is her own person, and this is coming from someone who is a Meryl Streep Stan of note. Viola Davis is by far one of the best actresses ever, and to compare her to another equally gifted actress is so enraging because you will never hear anyone say that Meryl Streep is the white viola Davis. She is just such a thrill to watch!!!!!

    Wow, I am blown away. This just instantly became one of my favorite Hot Ones interviews of all time (right up there with Paul Rudd). Viola's answers are so fluid, she answers Sean's questions so naturally and so casually, but without being cavalier. I was glued to my screen the whole time because her answers were just so genuine, and genuinely interesting. I thought I was a good communicator, but I just witnessed what real communication looks like. She offers so many important details in each of her responses and she does it just so effortlessly, it was immensely satisfying to watch. And her answer for Sean's last question was just so amazing and perfect. I loved hearing her thoughts and opinions on the entertainment industry, and also how things operate behind the scenes. But most importantly I really feel like I truly learned something from her last answer. I'm going to have to remind myself to periodically check back at 22:13, especially when life gets heavy, to remind myself about the journey.
