The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.

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.

Any man worth his salt loves a feminist. Only men who are afraid of the feminine in themselves are afraid of women.

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

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.

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.

If you play it safe every time, then you're missing the best part of acting. You haven't learned anything about your humanity.

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

Image
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.

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?

I'm still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive.

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.

I think movies do change people's hearts.

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
Image
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.

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.

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.
