Even with all her success, Taraji P. Henson has moments when she's tempted to give up.
即使取得了如此多的成功，塔拉吉·p·汉森也有想放弃的时候。

The actress and her Color Purple costar Danielle Brooks sat down with EW's The Awardist to discuss their upcoming movie musical, and in the interview Henson emotionally discussed her struggles as a Black woman in Hollywood.
这位女演员和她的搭档丹妮尔·布鲁克斯接受了《娱乐周刊》The Awardist的采访，讨论了他们即将上映的歌舞片，在采访中，汉森动情地谈论了她作为好莱坞黑人女性的挣扎。

"I've been doing this for two decades and there were times when I just wanted to quit, because I'm tired of fighting. And what pains my heart is that I don't want to hear these babies have the same fight," Henson said as she grabbed Brooks by the arm. "My prayer is that the work and the fight and the struggle is to make it easier for them, because I was the little girl that wished and saw these women, these incredible women, [and thought,] 'I want to do that one day.' And then you start doing it and you know how hard it is for us."
“我已经做了二十年了，有几次我只想放弃，因为我厌倦了战斗。让我心痛的是，我不想听到这些孩子也有同样的争吵，”汉森一边说一边抓住布鲁克斯的手臂。“我的祈祷是，我的工作、斗争和奋斗能让她们过得更轻松，因为我是那个希望并看到这些女性的小女孩，这些不可思议的女性，我想，‘我有一天也想这样做。’”然后你开始做，你知道这对我们来说有多难。”

She continued: "I'm like, how can I make it different? How can I make it better? So that this little girl out there is like, 'I want to do that.' I don’t want to have to… I don't want to hear her talk about the same things that me and my sisters have been fighting for for so many years. If I'm not in a position to make it better for those coming behind me, what am I doing?"
她继续说道:“我想，我怎么才能让它与众不同?我怎样才能让它变得更好?这样，这个小女孩就会说，‘我也想这样做。’我不想听她谈论我和我的姐妹们为之奋斗了这么多年的事情。如果我不能让我身后的人过得更好，那我在做什么?”

Henson recognizes the impact of her profession, and her belief in the power of creativity is what keeps her persisting. "Art saves lives, art changes lives, I know how important this craft that we've been blessed with — I know how important this is to humanity," she said. "I get this position, this coveted position in this industry that never gives us a break, and sometimes I just get so enraged, because it's like, I've done all of this! But what about all this other — that doesn't count for anything? It's almost like every time I've got to start from scratch!"
汉森认识到她的职业的影响，她相信创造力的力量是她坚持不懈的动力。她说:“艺术拯救生命，艺术改变生活，我知道我们有幸拥有这门手艺有多重要，我知道这对人类有多重要。”“我得到了这个职位，这个令人垂涎的职位，在这个行业里从来没有给我们休息的机会，有时我真的很生气，因为这就像，我已经做了所有这些!”但是，那些没有任何意义的东西呢?几乎每次我都得从头开始!”
