found on lipstick alley and I think it's interesting I copiedas is!

"You are black and you’re a woman — and you’re dark-skinned at that — so you have to be a quadruple-triple threat and you know, a lot of actors are not actual actors, they are movie people or whatever it is. I said, you have to learn how to act, dance, sing, move on stage, that is the only place you learn how to act, in my humble opinion. Look at Viola Davis. That’s who you want Viola Davis. That’s who you want to be. Forget about the little pretty girls; if you’re relying on that, when girls; if you’re relying on that, when you hit 40, you’re out the door. You you hit 40, you’re out the door. You better have some chops.”

Am I missing something? When did Viola Davis become ugly, is she not a "pretty girl" Boy I tell you colorism is a motha. I get what he is saying but still it sounds hella harsh.

he speaks in first min

Do you agree that he was harsh?
