I saw an interview she did recently and it became more clear why she has/had such issues with self-acceptance. She had a really, really bad and violent childhood. I mean, all of the things we'd imagine a child might need to grow into a stable, productive, healthy adult were virtually absent in her formative years, save for the sporadic intervention of a lone gaurdian angel in the form of a teacher, and acting. That she came out as well as she did is somewhat a miracle.

My girlfriend went to school with Viola in central falls , RI . My friend still talks to her mom . She told me how Viola was always very focused on what she wanted to do .

This was the best actors on actors conversation out of ALL of them. This is such a robust conversation from two masters of their craft. Beautiful, insightful and multi-dimensional.

I'm definitely here for this! Viola and Sam are two of the most prolific, talented actors of this generation. Glad to see them chat and hope they will collaborate on future projects soon 😀.

Love Viola. she reminds me of my grand mother in her prime. the bond is immaculate. bucket list is to meet Viola one day somehow and just talk with her atleast for few seconds

Watching The last days of Ptolemy Grey and enjoying the duo that was Samuel L. Jackson and Dominique Fishback made me realize how much I love platonic pairings between a young person and an older person played by great actors who have great chemistry. Another example of that is Ali and Rue in Euphoria played by Colman Domingo and Zendaya,I could watch them all day❤

Samuel L Jackson is just fantastic

A masterclass delivered in 24:46 minutes.Mind blowing.

I’ve watched a lot of actors on actors and this one is by far the best! They truly tell you what it took to be where they are today!!

So many GEMS!! Sam aint lying I dealt with my dad having dementia and he got the disease right! It was so hard to watch but I finished the 6 part series on Apple TV. I loved ALL OF It!

I really love this format. The people interviewing each other know the nuances and behind the scenes intricacies of what goes into the work they do. These interviews seem more candid.

Whoever organised the pairing this time…thank you and thank you again.

TOO MUCH LEGEND energy and CHARISMA and I am LIVING FOR THIS

Two of the greatest thespian ever!!! Love them! Viola's speaking voice is gorgeous and so is she!😍💚

This deserves way more viewership!!! This was so good to watch. Two most iconic actors of our time

The best interview doesn't exi--- 🤩🔥

Jackson is 100% correct on actors doing full run Plays to develop themselves, not just scenes. In my days at the Meisner Center once an actor had two full run plays (6 weeks of rehearsal + a 6 week run, minimum) under their belt, they took giant steps and were pretty much ready to roll with anything.

Such a beautiful conversation between two beautiful living legends! Truly enjoyed watching amd listening to this conversation.

Samuel Jackson has never made a wrong foot when it came to acting like he's legendary. You always be my favorite favorite forever

Sam is actually making this a _conversation_ . He's here chatting with a friend, and that makes this so endearing to watch. He's not at all caught up with talking about himself or his projects, he cares about the other person, and it's the exact same with Viola. This video stands out from all the other ones where it's you asking me a question and me asking you one in return. BRAVO, hearts of gold, Sam and Viola.

They are the 2 most talented actors in the world! They are my absolute favorites!
