Viola Davis Digs Deep In AARP Interview - Shares Thoughts On Marriage, Turning 50 and Playing Not So Nice Roles

Oscar nominated actress Viola Davis is starring in a new film, Lila & Eve with Jennifer Lopez, riding a high ride as legal eagle/private mess Annalise Keating in ABC'S How to Get Away With Murder and gearing up for a key role as Harriet Tuban for HBO but she still finds time for living life.

Check Viola out in AARP's August/September 2015 Issue where she and her husband Julian Tennon share thoughts on marriage and much more.

Here are a few excerpts:


On her feelings towards Annalise's unlikeable side:"I've played warm and fuzzy to the point that it's made me nauseous. We're not always likable. Sometimes we're mean, and we're mean to the people we love. I reserve the right to be a mess and completely unlikable."

Husband Julius Tennon on his and Viola's successful marriage and their professional relationship:"We work as a team— that's how we roll. A few doors get slammed once in a while. But you can always say, 'I'm sorry.' And we make each other laugh."

On her feelings about marriage and love:"I didn't fall in love. I walked into it, with my eyes wide open. I understood the union of marriage. You sort of die to yourself and you're reborn into this union."
