More quotes by Octavia Spencer
Any upward movement is movement for us all.
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
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'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
Let's just say that I have a tendency if I am uncomfortable in a situation to speak my mind.
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
People who are overweight face discrimination. African-Americans face discrimination. Women face discrimination and sexism. So I don't have the luxury of not being tolerant of anyone.
Octavia Spencer
You can't be from Montgomery, Alabama, and not have a background in the church. It's at the core of who we are as a people.
Octavia Spencer
I want to see more women as producers.
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
We know longer live in a homogenous society, it is not black, white, Asian or Latin, it is a melting pot. Until we learn to assimilate and learn about other cultures, we will continue to have racism problems. Of course, there are other '-isms' as our ills. We have sexism, ageism, elitism, homophobia-ism, there are many -isms we have to overcome.
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
To be silent is to be passive.
Octavia Spencer
I'm starstruck everyday. The day I'm not starstruck, I'll have to retire.
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
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 do believe that everyone has something to contribute.
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
I just know that the one thing that we all have in common is challenges. No one lives a challenge free life.
Octavia Spencer
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.
