how is it possible that every time this woman opens her mouth, i love her even more?!
Viola's speeches deserve an award of their own.
I just want to give her an Oscar each time she speaks. It is genuine. It is good. It is rewarding.
I'm speechless. This woman is a force of nature and an inspiration for me. Love you, Viola.

@tweety tweety spoken like a true jealous Neanderthal.
@tweety tweety l live in Southern Europe and have a summer house in Mombasa Kenya on the Indian Ocean idiot. I do live I Africa 5 months out of the year. Unlike you l don't live in a country filled with trailer trash Neanderthals. Heroin addicts without Passports should refrain from leaving comments😂
