More quotes by 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.

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.

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.

I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.
Brit Marling
The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.

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.

The only thing that's important is that every day I'm waking and doing something that I really love to do.

Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.

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 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.
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 think the first thing I thought when I got out to L.A. was just: Oh, if I want to act, I have to find a different way to go about it because the parts for girls are as dispiriting as the banking jobs. You have to really be willing to invent, I guess, a different path for yourself.
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
It doesn't happen all the time, but in the moments where you really lose yourself and you fall into this character, it's like time travel.
Brit Marling
I feel like developing the muscle of my imagination became a way to survive reality.
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
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.

Being a waitress can be a very brutal job sometimes, and I remember during the training, the person said to me, The redder the lips, the better the tips, and that was like the only advice she gave me.
Brit Marling
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.
Brit Marling
For some reason, I have a very strange conception of time. I am constantly hovering at some overview, more macro.
