Taraji P. Henson did not hold back during an interview with Marie Claire for their November issue. The
46-year-old, who released her book Around The Way Girl: A Memoir on
Tuesday, told the magazine that she doesn't 'really know what "made it"
feels like' when speaking about her career.
The
Empire star, who completed Marie Claire's 29-question quiz, added: 'I'm
constantly improving and looking for other great opportunities.'
On
her favorite perks of the job, the beauty said that its 'knowing that
your performance could change someone's life,' while the worst pitfall
was 'fame.'
Taraji revealed that the most
agonizing career decision she made was 'going back to television and
taking the part of Cookie. I was so afraid people would hate her.'
The TV actress divulged that she made her first dollar 'doing fabulous manicures for my friends.'
The best career advice she got was to 'never give up' and that she turns to prayer to clear her mind after a bad day.
She
talked about the changes she wants to see in the acting world,
including seeing more females in charge at studios where they can 'make
real decisions.'
On
relationships, she said that she used to want a partner who was 'tall,
dark, and handsome,' but now looks for a man with 'a sense of humor,
kindness to everyone, and honesty.'
To women who are getting over a broken heart, she advised 'please love yourself.'
