More quotes by Brit Marling
I think one thing for sure that you learn the more films that you make is how important it is to choose your collaborators.

One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

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
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.

I'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.
Brit Marling
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.
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 think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.
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
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
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.
