More quotes by Octavia Spencer

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 want to see more women as producers.
Octavia Spencer
Christian Louboutin, I love you, but honey, please! But when you have this much weight, you've got to give us a little platform. Sorry! The shoes are stunning though. An ounce of pain, it's worth it.
Octavia Spencer
I can't speak for what other artists should do. I can only tell you how I live.
Octavia Spencer
We know longer live in a homogenous society, it is not black, white, Asian or Latin, it is a melting pot. Until we learn to assimilate and learn about other cultures, we will continue to have racism problems. Of course, there are other '-isms' as our ills. We have sexism, ageism, elitism, homophobia-ism, there are many -isms we have to overcome.
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 just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.
Octavia Spencer
I can only live in my truth.
Octavia Spencer
I can only be the best version of myself and understand that the only way that we as a people can heal is to understand that the next person's journey may not be your own, but it doesn't mean that you have to marginalize them in any way.
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 really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.
Octavia Spencer
My faith is tested daily.
Octavia Spencer
Even in my music, I am always searching for big, universal things - ways that you can sort of reach outside the norm of what you are doing.
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 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
I want to see more women behind the scenes.
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 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 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.
