Quote by Octavia Spencer
I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical.

I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never, ever restricted our dreams, always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said, Maybe I want to be an actor. And she said, Maybe not that. – Octavia Spencer
