More quotes by Octavia Spencer
I really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.
Octavia Spencer
I choose projects that resonate with me on some personal level and projects that I'm afraid to do. If I'm afraid to do them, then I usually say yes, because it means that I'm not ready to go there and deal with certain aspects of the script.
Octavia Spencer
I didn't realize that diets don't work, and I did not want to diet. I didn't want to do anything that required dieting.

People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don't have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone.
Octavia Spencer
To be silent is to be passive.
Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
Octavia Spencer
I can only live in my truth.
Octavia Spencer
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.

As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.
Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer
My faith is tested daily.
Octavia Spencer
As an actor, I've learned to become a detective. You have to figure out who that person is. If the character is a thief, you have to figure out what makes them a thief. Whatever the prevailing idiosyncrasy is, I have to find it in the script.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women behind the scenes.
Octavia Spencer
God in my mind gives you what you need. So, if you need God to be a black woman and you need that for whatever your reasons are, then perhaps your blessings will come in that form.
Octavia Spencer
I was starstruck and sweat a lot when I met Oprah Winfrey and tried to hug her. Because when you think you know people when you see them from your couch.
Octavia Spencer
I look for roles that resonate with me these days. While I love putting out just fabulous entertainment, I think now as artists, especially with so much uncertainty going on in the world, you want to be a part of things that offer or promote healing in some way and perhaps a little introspection once you leave.
Octavia Spencer
I want to find things that challenge me.
Octavia Spencer
I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.
