Taraji P. Henson

When I meet a person and that chemistry is there, I cannot hide the electricity. I need to learn more about him, and once I feel safe, I'm gone, I'm in love, and I give it my all!

A woman is gentle, soft, delicate, and a man's position is to protect her, help her up stairs, make sure she's in the car safely first. Take good care of your woman, and the sky's the limit!

I'm always interested in challenging myself and pushing and seeing how far I can go.

Most men are fragile.

I'm not a selfish actor. I believe that it's a team effort. You're not in a scene by yourself.

Date a woman with children only if you are ready to man up, because it's a position that comes with responsibility.

With TV, the pace is so fast, the scripts are coming at you, the directors are firing things at you, it's breathtaking.

I just like when I work with people that are professional and good.

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.

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.

I don't ever want to feel complacent.

I prefer doing feature films.

I would love to do a biopic of a famous singer, like Diana Ross or Donna Summer, or an old jazz story that we haven't seen before. I would love to do that! I would love to play Diana Ross 'cause she's an icon. I'm salivating to do that.

I love New York. Love it.

The best thing about being in New York is the people, and you get to walk everywhere.

I'm not interested in disposable music.

I've been doing a lot of drama, but I feel like comedy is my strength.

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.

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