More quotes by Octavia Spencer
I'm not an optimist. I'm a realist. And my reality is that we live in a multifaceted, multicultural world. And maybe once we stop labeling ourselves, then maybe everyone else will.
Octavia Spencer
I don't ever want to be the type of person to tell you what to think or what to believe. Whatever stage in your life that you are in, I want you to organically reach whatever conclusions that you possibly reach.
Octavia Spencer
I don't think you learn as much about yourself when you are moving forwards as when you have fallen backwards. That's when you really learn who you are. And reach for the things that have propelled you forward and made you a better person.

Octavia Spencer
I'm not trying to be a different weight. I want to be a different body type so that I'm not an apple. I just want to be a pear!
Octavia Spencer
I can only live in my truth.
Octavia Spencer
I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, 'Maybe I want to be an actor.' And she said, 'Maybe not that.'
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
What's not fair is having the responsibility of a supervisor but not the title or the pay.
Octavia Spencer
I don't have one role that I want to play. I guess... I want to be a producer. I want to be an activist. I want to be proactive in bringing about work for men, women, boys, girls, everybody who is good at what they do and deserve a shot at it.
Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer
The first time I saw E.T., the actual image of an alien, and he was so sweet-looking. I wanted him. I wanted E.T.
Octavia Spencer
I'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.
Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer
