Octavia Spencer
Image
The fact that women are very young in obtaining their civil rights and African-Americans are young in obtaining their civil rights, I think it's about time that we extend that to all Americans, whether straight, gay, purple, green, black, brown.
Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer
Image
I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.

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
