More quotes by 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'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 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
My faith is tested daily.
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 starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.
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
I'm an Oscar nominee. I love saying that. Whatever happens, I'm going to sing that 'I'm an Oscar nominee' part.
Octavia Spencer
I really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.
Octavia Spencer
What's not fair is having the responsibility of a supervisor but not the title or the pay.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women behind the scenes.
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
I want to find things that challenge me.
Octavia Spencer
The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.
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 just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.
Octavia Spencer
I don't have one role that I want to play. I guess... I want to be a producer. I want to be an activist. I want to be proactive in bringing about work for men, women, boys, girls, everybody who is good at what they do and deserve a shot at it.
Octavia Spencer
I think that young women and little girls need to see that they don't have to be the damsel in distress. They don't have to not show their strength. They don't have to be whatever the stereotype is or the tropes that we go to in our minds.
Octavia Spencer
I don't think that moms, with all that's going on in our society today, would want to put their kids in front of something that will be disheartening rather than uplifting.
Octavia Spencer
I gotta go home and feed my eels. They're not electric, but I have a plan.
Octavia Spencer
