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.

A lot of people think, 'I'll give acting or poetry or filmmaking a try. And if it doesn't work out I'll go get a law degree, do something else that's more practical.' For me I went the reverse way. I lived the back-up plan.

Once you play with these scenes and you're outlining it, again and again, and telling each other the narrative, and telling it to people you know, trying to make sure that the mathematics of the story work, you feel that those are in place, and the actual writing and final draft doesn't take as long.

Life and death and birth is this fantastic mystery that we cannot fully grasp.

One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.
Brit Marling
I feel like success to me is about feeling like I have done something in storytelling, where I've gotten close to articulating something intangible that I'm feeling, and I think I get closer every time, but I don't know that I've done that yet.
Brit Marling
Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.

Then in college, besides economics, I also majored in studio art and got involved in photography and making short films and acting. But I didn't know you could make a living that way.

I think movies do change people's hearts.
Brit Marling
So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women.
Brit Marling
I think there is a general unrest or curiosity about what a human future is going to be like, and whether the way we're living is even sustainable.
Brit Marling
I've found myself at one in the morning just sitting at my desk spending an hour returning emails from the day until like two in the morning. It's ridiculous, I should be sleeping, or dreaming, or reading a novel.

Living in Cuba made me unafraid of whatever could happen to me.

Sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical. I'm more interested in the kinds of movies where the science fiction world has a set series of rules and you operate in it because of, maybe, constraints in the budget.
