More quotes by Octavia Spencer
You never write a speech in advance because if you don't get to use it, you'll be heartbroken.
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
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
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
Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.
Octavia Spencer
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.
Octavia Spencer
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
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
My faith is tested daily.
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
I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.
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
The first time I saw E.T., the actual image of an alien, and he was so sweet-looking. I wanted him. I wanted E.T.
Octavia Spencer
I want to find things that challenge me.
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
I can only be the best version of myself and understand that the only way that we as a people can heal is to understand that the next person's journey may not be your own, but it doesn't mean that you have to marginalize them in any way.
Octavia Spencer
I can't speak for what other artists should do. I can only tell you how I live.
Octavia Spencer
As an actor, I've learned to become a detective. You have to figure out who that person is. If the character is a thief, you have to figure out what makes them a thief. Whatever the prevailing idiosyncrasy is, I have to find it in the script.
Octavia Spencer
The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.
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!
