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
It is important to learn as much as you can about the person and then throw it all away so that you're not in any way doing some sort of mimicry.

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

Octavia Spencer
