More quotes by 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 gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.
Octavia Spencer
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
I don't think you learn as much about yourself when you are moving forwards as when you have fallen backwards. That's when you really learn who you are. And reach for the things that have propelled you forward and made you a better person.
Octavia Spencer
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
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
People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don't have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone.
Octavia Spencer
My faith is tested daily.
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'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
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.
Octavia Spencer
The one thing that I realize - well, not the one thing, but it was a big thing - having in my head that I need to get healthier. It's been a very gradual process for me.
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
To be silent is to be passive.
Octavia Spencer
I want to find things that challenge me.
Octavia Spencer
I can only live in my truth.
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 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
Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women as producers.
