More quotes by 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 really believe things happen as they're supposed to and in the time that they're supposed to.
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
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 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
Even in my music, I am always searching for big, universal things - ways that you can sort of reach outside the norm of what you are doing.
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
Civil rights happened because youth got involved. The youth stood up and helped to break the pattern that their parents had got accustomed to living. The next generation has to take that stand for whatever it is, socially, that they are involved in.
Octavia Spencer
I can't speak for what other artists should do. I can only tell you how I live.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women as producers.
Octavia Spencer
The fact that women are very young in obtaining their civil rights and African-Americans are young in obtaining their civil rights, I think it's about time that we extend that to all Americans, whether straight, gay, purple, green, black, brown.
Octavia Spencer
I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.
Octavia Spencer
To be silent is to be passive.
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
My faith is tested daily.
Octavia Spencer
I can only live in my truth.
Octavia Spencer
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
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
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'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.
Octavia Spencer
