On yet another sunny winter day in southern California, Viola Davis is home, and happy to be here. She says she's a homebody: "Homebody, totally. I'm total introvert," she said.
What does she like about being at home? "I like just being," she said. "I just like to be regular. I don't want to put on makeup. I don't want to try to be anyone else, other than myself."
But when she does leave home, she Davis a tendency to make magic. She can light up a red carpet, turn bad guys into superheroes, and in "Air," even make us believe she helped negotiate Michael Jordan's shoe deal.
And now she's stepped into the publishing world with a new novel, "Judge Stone," that she co-wrote with superstar author James Patterson, who knows a thing or two about collaboration, having co-written books with President Bill Clinton ("The First Gentleman") and singer Dolly Parton ("Run, Rose, Run").
Davis said she and Petterson couldn't be any more different: "And yet, meeting, writing this book, I just liked him. We just connected."
