More quotes by Brit Marling
I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.
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
Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.

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
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.

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.

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
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
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
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
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
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'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.
Brit Marling
I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where I'm just working on my analytical mind.
Brit Marling
Any man worth his salt loves a feminist. Only men who are afraid of the feminine in themselves are afraid of women.
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
The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.

I think sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical.

As an actor, you have an accumulated knowledge base. But there's also something about it that every time you really feel like you're doing it for the first time you have no idea whether you're capable of it.
