I want to see more women behind the scenes.
Octavia Spencer
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.

Any upward movement is movement for us all.
Octavia Spencer
Image

I want to find things that challenge me.
Octavia Spencer

I can only live in my truth.

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'm excited that I get to do what I love, and I'm benefiting through projects that speak to me.
Octavia Spencer
Image
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
Image
I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.
Octavia Spencer
Image
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
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.

If you go through life and you don't find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence.
