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
Image
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.

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
Image
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.

You have to create your own path and I'm up to the challenge.

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!

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.

Image
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.

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
Image
As an actor, you don't become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged.
Octavia Spencer
Image
If you go through life and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.
Octavia Spencer
Image
I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.
Octavia Spencer
Image
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
Octavia Spencer
Image
I want to see more women behind the scenes.
Octavia Spencer
Image
For me, when you have to prepare to play God, and then walking away from that, you realize just how tough God's job is. I don't want that job.
Octavia Spencer
Image
I can't speak for what other artists should do. I can only tell you how I live.
Octavia Spencer
Image
I want to find things that challenge me.
Octavia Spencer
Image
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 do believe that everyone has something to contribute.
