More quotes by Brit Marling
It seems to be this hot-bed for these ideas and bringing these groups together.

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
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 think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.
Brit Marling
I feel like, when the audience connects with something, they enjoy the experience so much that they want other people to go have it. They're like, Don't talk about it. Don't tell. Just go! It's a nice feeling to have people coming around it that way, protecting the ideas in it, so that everyone can see it for themselves.
Brit Marling
Life and death and birth is this fantastic mystery that we cannot fully grasp.
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
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
When I was a kid and going to the movies I was overwhelmed by the way women were always second-class citizens in the film.
Brit Marling
If you play it safe every time, then you're missing the best part of acting. You haven't learned anything about your humanity.
Brit Marling
I think I realized very early on that you can spend a lot of time constructing a really perfect scene in final draft and just end up throwing it away because you didn't figure out that mathematics of the story first.
