I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don't have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I'm blowing out candles gives me hives.

More quotes by Brit Marling
The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.
Brit Marling
I think we're in this exciting moment of Internet streaming storytelling, and it's anybody's guess what that is or what it means. It can take on any form. That's what's so exciting about the time we're in these filmmakers are coming in and letting the story tell itself as it wants to be told.
Brit Marling
The only thing that's important is that every day I'm waking and doing something that I really love to do.
Brit Marling
I always feel like the editing room is like coming into the kitchen. What kind of a meal do you make from there? It can be anything.
Brit Marling
I learned from my parents the idea that, if you are devoted enough and you want to study something enough, you can really teach yourself anything.
Brit Marling
For some reason, I have a very strange conception of time. I am constantly hovering at some overview, more macro.
Brit Marling
I'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.

The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.
Brit Marling
I think I am looking as an actor to find ways to push myself into places I haven't been before as a human being.
Brit Marling
I believe in what science fiction can do, which is it can set up simple rules that it has to follow to try to illuminate something about the present that is somewhat invisible to us.
Brit Marling
Because we're watching so many movies and are consumed by so many stories, science fiction lets you do something a bit fresh and that hasn't been seen before.
Brit Marling
Here's the thing that I think about life - if you manage to get into a space where you don't need that much, where the overhead of your life is not that great and you're pretty happy and relaxed without that much stuff, you are really liberated because you never have to say yes to something because you want another refrigerator or car!
Brit Marling
Writing so that I can act became a way of having not more control over my future but not having to wait for permission. You can choose yourself. Hmm, who should play this part? I nominate me!
Brit Marling
That's the funny thing about cinema, it is an intellectual medium, but it's also sort of anti-intellectual.
Brit Marling
My brain doesn't work very well, in terms of mathematics. I'm not one of those people who can just spout off numbers for things, if numbers are thrown at me.
Brit Marling
But, it has something to do with having belief in a human future and what that human future is. What is the future of humanity? How does this whole experiment not self-destruct with the environment and everything else going on?
Brit Marling
There are so many filmmakers who are so talented, and actors and writers who work so hard, and it's really hard to let your work enter the world.
Brit Marling
People go to the cinema to be moved they wanna laugh, they wanna cry, they wanna feel something deeply, especially if they're not feeling deeply in their own lives.
Brit Marling
