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 do believe that everyone has something to contribute.
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
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
Octavia Spencer
I hate to tell people what they should think 'cause I really have an aversion when people tell me what to think.
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
