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.

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
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
I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.
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.
Brit Marling
The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.
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
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.
Brit Marling
I think movies do change people's hearts.
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
For some reason, I have a very strange conception of time. I am constantly hovering at some overview, more macro.
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.
Brit Marling
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 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
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.
Brit Marling
Here's the thing that I think about life - if you manage to get into a space where you don't need that much, where the overhead of your life is not that great and you're pretty happy and relaxed without that much stuff, you are really liberated because you never have to say yes to something because you want another refrigerator or car!
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 sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical.
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'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.
Brit Marling
Nothing seemed as scary as waking up at 40 and realizing that I had not lived a very courageous life.
