More quotes by Octavia Spencer
I like a person who knows how to say something dark at a very dark moment. The darker the moment and the darker the comic, the better. Something that is so wrong on all levels.
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
My faith is tested daily.
Octavia Spencer
I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.
Octavia Spencer
I'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.
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 want to see more women as producers.
Octavia Spencer
It's very seldom that we see the good of the South. There is a perception that Southerners are racists and everyone else in the nation is 'enlightened.' There is racism everywhere, and there is good everywhere.
Octavia Spencer
What's not fair is having the responsibility of a supervisor but not the title or the pay.
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
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
Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.
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
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 an actor and I am looking for roles where I can continue to evolve, and things that are challenging. I gravitate to the roles, not necessarily television or film. It's just the fact that, for me, the most interesting roles have been in television.
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
You have to create your own path and I'm up to the challenge.
Octavia Spencer
I can only live in my truth.
Octavia Spencer
I was starstruck and sweat a lot when I met Oprah Winfrey and tried to hug her. Because when you think you know people when you see them from your couch.
Octavia Spencer
I'm excited that I get to do what I love, and I'm benefiting through projects that speak to me.
