More quotes by 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
God in my mind gives you what you need. So, if you need God to be a black woman and you need that for whatever your reasons are, then perhaps your blessings will come in that form.
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 prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.
Octavia Spencer
I'm excited that I get to do what I love, and I'm benefiting through projects that speak to me.
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 can only live in my truth.
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
To be silent is to be passive.
Octavia Spencer
The first time I saw E.T., the actual image of an alien, and he was so sweet-looking. I wanted him. I wanted E.T.
Octavia Spencer
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
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
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
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
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women behind the scenes.
