"The worst thing that anyone has ever said to me is constantly telling me that I'm not pretty," Viola Davis tells us in the latest episode of our Life Lessons series. "Even though, I'm good, I really am," she adds, holding her hands up. "I feel very confident with myself."

She pauses, before continuing: "But when you say that to someone, I don't think that people understand how hurtful it is. And how not important it is. When you say that to someone, the unspoken word is that you're not worthy – because people put a value on prettiness and beauty, so if you don't have it it's like you have no value."

Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis shares what she's learnt about style, beauty, career and confidence in our latest episode of Life Lessons.

    I feel like Viola says something profound in every interview. And I feel like she’s articulating from a place of someone who’s been through a lot, and has done the internal work to heal and have a full human experience.
  • I could listen to her all day, I have so much love for this woman it's ridiculous. One of the most outstanding people of our time imo
  • She is one of the most beautiful, powerful and loving woman in Hollywood. Im so glad she came to know her beauty❤️✨

    The canera does not do this woman justice. She is magnificent in person. What an honour to witness her journey.

    Viola is so pretty. I saw the picture showing what she looked like when she was young and in Julliard and I cannot believe she was told she was ugly before. She has NEVER been ugly. And I will tell her that every day !

    Whoever told Viola she isn't pretty was wrong on so many levels. I'm an artist and every angle under every light I've seen her in with makeup or without , I see so much beauty and intelligence. She is a real treasure.

    Cannot love this enough, but I'm disappointed in the number of likes to views. Her wisdom is SOUND.

    Being beautiful is about self-accept/embrace who you are, Yes it takes time and when you do, no one can take that away.

    Viola is pure inspiration💕 I was told these things throughout my childhood your not pretty or your lips or go big but I Thank God that I’m starting to realize my self worth and who I am
  • She is indeed beautiful. She only needed time as we all do to blossom and she has blossomed amazingly. She's an inspiration and I love her sense of humor. And also when she can laugh at herself and say "I'm a badass" I love her and her work and all she stands for!!
