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!

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.

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.

So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
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.

I learned from my parents the idea that, if you are devoted enough and you want to study something enough, you can really teach yourself anything.
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 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.

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
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
If you play it safe every time, then you're missing the best part of acting. You haven't learned anything about your humanity.
Brit Marling
I feel like developing the muscle of my imagination became a way to survive reality.
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
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.

Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.
