I started acting in second grade - my first role was in the Thanksgiving play. I was the Indian chasing the turkey. All the other mom's encouraged my mom to get me into acting after that.

More quotes by Brie Larson
Sometimes I laugh with my parents, and sometimes I yell at them, and both are therapeutic.
Brie Larson
I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.
Brie Larson
I feel like it's too easy to just say, We'll just change the name of this male character to a female, but have her do all the same things that a male does. I don't believe in that. I think there's something else. I think there's more to women than that.
Brie Larson
I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.
Brie Larson
There's obviously something that feels very good about being with a new filmmaker who's very excited, but I also think there's something very comforting in a director who's been around a few times. Both have their pros and cons.
Brie Larson
I have a sister and her name is Mimsy, like from Alice in Wonderland, so we've got some strange names in our family.
Brie Larson
Singing is an incredible expression and something that is important to me, but where I feel comfortable with how much I reveal about myself is acting. I enjoy the characters, the costumes, the wigs and just being a chameleon.
Brie Larson
When I take on a character, it's a sacrifice. There's something that you give up every time. I want to become these characters, and I want to be mysterious, but if you know too much about me, it's not going to be too much fun watching me play a character, because it's just going to be me with a mask on, instead of you believing what the mask is.
Brie Larson
You have to be really comfortable with yourself because people are going to tell you that you're eyes are too brown or you're this or you're that. And if you're not comfortable with yourself, you could get pretty freaked out.
Brie Larson
Whenever you want something that you're not going to get, suddenly the whiney 3-year-old comes out in you.
Brie Larson
I try to find some sort of meditative hobby to do on set, and it's different for every film. There's a lot of downtime, but I don't like reading on set because it feels like you're taking yourself out of your world, instead of being present. And then, you feel like you're not ready to do whatever you have to do.
Brie Larson
I have a lot of different influences. Everything from Maroon 5, Gwen Stefani, The Clash, Kanye West - just a lot of different artists.
Brie Larson
Sometimes you pick up on the myth and it's just an accident. I think it comes naturally out of people, and some people are aware of it.
Brie Larson
I want more awareness of humanity in this world.
Brie Larson
It's very scary to allow the world to see you.
Brie Larson
I think that I write about stuff that others don't write about. I don't have a bunch of love songs cuz I don't really have much boy experience. I just write about what I am actually going through in my real life.
Brie Larson
I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.
Brie Larson
It's really hard to see yourself and to recognize that you are a human being like everybody else. You just think everybody's judging you.
Brie Larson
I think more things are becoming socially acceptable. I think that just by having more media, whether that's TV or Internet, we're able to see more things.
Brie Larson
For me, I believe that just seeing women be strong and tough is not answering the question of what a female hero looks like. Women have their own set of skills that are worth exploring and seeing on screen.
Brie Larson
