More quotes by Octavia Spencer
My faith is tested daily.
Octavia Spencer
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
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
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
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
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
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
I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, 'Maybe I want to be an actor.' And she said, 'Maybe not that.'
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.
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
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 choose projects that resonate with me on some personal level and projects that I'm afraid to do. If I'm afraid to do them, then I usually say yes, because it means that I'm not ready to go there and deal with certain aspects of the script.
Octavia Spencer
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
