Octavia Spencer Quotes

I want to find things that challenge me Picture Quote #1

You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to grow Picture Quote #1

I’m attracted to things that make me want to be a better person Picture Quote #1

I do believe that we’re all God’s children Picture Quote #1

I want to see more women behind the scenes Picture Quote #1

I just think that you have to believe in yourself and you have to work very hard. You can’t ever think that you’re the best thing since sliced bread because I promise you, there are going to be Viola Davises and Jessica Chastains and Emma Stones who are the best thing since sliced bread. So take it seriously, but don’t take it too seriously Picture Quote #1

I’m not a fan of ‘Gone With the Wind.’ I didn’t like the movie. I didn’t like the book Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As we women know, there are so many other hurdles that we have to cross that I would love it if we could stop having the race conversation so that we can get women further on. You know, a female president now that we have an African American president. Maybe we can get an Asian female, a gay person? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Meeting Oprah Winfrey, I cried like a baby. Meeting Steven Spielberg, I cried like a baby. Meeting Denzel Washington, I gushed like a crazy woman. If I don’t get excited or star struck by someone I’ve been dying to meet, it’s time to retire Picture Quote #1

You never write a speech in advance because if you don’t get to use it, you’ll be heartbroken Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you don’t become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged Picture Quote #1

I can only be the best version of myself and understand that the only way that we as a people can heal is to understand that the next person’s journey may not be your own, but it doesn’t mean that you have to marginalize them in any way Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

What surprised me about the Oscars was how familiar it was - because you’re in the room with all these people that have inspired you from your childhood to adulthood in the film industry. It feels like you’ve known them all of your life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You cannot live to please everyone else. You have to edify, educate and fulfill your own dreams and destiny, and hope that whatever your art is that you’re putting out there, if it’s received, great, I respect you for receiving it. If it’s not received, great, I respect you for not Picture Quote #1

To be silent is to be passive Picture Quote #1

The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active Picture Quote #1

There are moments where you stop living, if you stop changing, and if you stop seeking growth of some sort Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Every character I get to play has some element of who I am, but there’s no fun in playing yourself. At least, for me, there isn’t Picture Quote #1

If you go through life and you don’t find the beauty in an unexpected place, then you really have a sad existence Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
