More quotes by 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.

I think what's so attractive about acting is that you get to live several lifetimes in one.

Nothing seemed as scary as waking up at 40 and realizing that I had not lived a very courageous life.

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
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.

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.

Is there anything worse than being called the 'It Girl?' By definition, there will be a new one in two weeks.

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.

So at some point you realize that your life is not just going to start one day in the future, that you're living it.

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
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!

Being a waitress can be a very brutal job sometimes, and I remember during the training, the person said to me, The redder the lips, the better the tips, and that was like the only advice she gave me.
Brit Marling
Living in Cuba made me unafraid of whatever could happen to me.

I think one thing for sure that you learn the more films that you make is how important it is to choose your collaborators.
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
For some reason, I have a very strange conception of time. I am constantly hovering at some overview, more macro.
Brit Marling
I totally love my job, and I wake up every day basically thinking about how can I do my job better. It never feels like a job. It's hard, and it's exhausting sometimes, but it never feels like - I would do this even if they didn't pay me to do it. That's a pretty amazing feeling.
