The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Octavia Spencer
- The way to bring about change is to be proactive and active.
- As you make your way along life’s tumultuous highways, it’s important to note that you should always carry a map, have plenty of fuel in the tank, and take frequent rest stops.
- You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to grow. And as an actor, you don’t become Meryl Streep by doing the same type of comedy. You get there by being challenged. And unfortunately, there’s a lack of roles for women of color, so you actually have to be the engineer creating some of those roles.
- 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.
- The hardest thing about writing, for me, is facing the blank page.
- Life is too short, and I need to eat. I am my meanest when I haven’t had a meal.
- My idea of success is not Oscars. Am I glad I have that little trinket? Yes, I am. But it depends on how you define success. The minute I got my first professional cheque from Joel Schumacher, I was successful. Somebody’s paying me to act!
- You have to create your own path and I’m up to the challenge.
- You just keep moving forward and doing what you do and hope that it resonates with people. And if it doesn’t, you just keep moving on until you find a project that does.
- I love working with kids and seeing the light come on when they realize they are smart. It’s so beautiful to watch.
