More quotes by Brit Marling
I think I am looking as an actor to find ways to push myself into places I haven't been before as a human being.
Brit Marling
Because we're watching so many movies and are consumed by so many stories, science fiction lets you do something a bit fresh and that hasn't been seen before.
Brit Marling
The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.
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.

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
Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.
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.
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
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'd studied theater growing up and loved that, but didn't have many examples of artists around me.
Brit Marling
One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

It seems to be this hot-bed for these ideas and bringing these groups together. You find that the one thing that everybody has in common, whether they're a teenager who has run away from his parents, or a divorcee who lost her husband, is that they all have in common this feeling of searching for a meaning in their lives.
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
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
I think we're in this exciting moment of Internet streaming storytelling, and it's anybody's guess what that is or what it means. It can take on any form. That's what's so exciting about the time we're in these filmmakers are coming in and letting the story tell itself as it wants to be told.
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
I'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.
