More quotes by 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
I'm excited that I get to do what I love, and I'm benefiting through projects that speak to me.
Octavia Spencer
Christian Louboutin, I love you, but honey, please! But when you have this much weight, you've got to give us a little platform. Sorry! The shoes are stunning though. An ounce of pain, it's worth it.
Octavia Spencer
I have an affinity for the law. I like looking at the small type on contracts, and if I could have afforded law school, I probably would have gone.
Octavia Spencer
I look for roles that resonate with me these days.

Octavia Spencer

Octavia Spencer
I really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.
Octavia Spencer
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
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'm glad that I get to take my final walk as the princess of 2012. ...there's nothing wrong with winning an Oscar!
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
I do believe that everyone has something to contribute.
Octavia Spencer
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
You have to create your own path and I'm up to the challenge.
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 didn't realize that diets don't work, and I did not want to diet. I didn't want to do anything that required dieting.
