More quotes by Octavia Spencer
It is important to learn as much as you can about the person and then throw it all away so that you're not in any way doing some sort of mimicry.
Octavia Spencer
I want to find things that challenge me.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women behind the scenes.
Octavia Spencer
The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.
Octavia Spencer
It's very seldom that we see the good of the South. There is a perception that Southerners are racists and everyone else in the nation is 'enlightened.' There is racism everywhere, and there is good everywhere.
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'll say that I don't think you can throw a stone and not come in contact with someone who knows someone or has problems with substance abuse.
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 think that young women and little girls need to see that they don't have to be the damsel in distress. They don't have to not show their strength. They don't have to be whatever the stereotype is or the tropes that we go to in our minds.
Octavia Spencer
You know, bigotry isn't relevant to just the South. It never was. But I'm very grateful that I don't know what it's like from experience.
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.
Octavia Spencer
I'm an actor and I am looking for roles where I can continue to evolve, and things that are challenging. I gravitate to the roles, not necessarily television or film. It's just the fact that, for me, the most interesting roles have been in television.
Octavia Spencer
I don't think that moms, with all that's going on in our society today, would want to put their kids in front of something that will be disheartening rather than uplifting.
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
You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you're putting out there, if it's received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it's not received, great, I respect you for not.
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'm excited that I get to do what I love, and I'm benefiting through projects that speak to me.
Octavia Spencer
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
Octavia Spencer
You never write a speech in advance because if you don't get to use it, you'll be heartbroken.
Octavia Spencer
I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.
Octavia Spencer
