More quotes by Octavia Spencer
What's not fair is having the responsibility of a supervisor but not the title or the pay.
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 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 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.
Octavia Spencer
I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.
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
As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.
Octavia Spencer
I'm an Oscar nominee. I love saying that. Whatever happens, I'm going to sing that 'I'm an Oscar nominee' part.
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
The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.
Octavia Spencer
I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.
Octavia Spencer
You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.
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 want to find things that challenge me.
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
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
Octavia Spencer
My faith is tested daily.
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 like a person who knows how to say something dark at a very dark moment. The darker the moment and the darker the comic, the better. Something that is so wrong on all levels.
Octavia Spencer
I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.
