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 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.

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.

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.

Nothing seemed as scary as waking up at 40 and realizing that I had not lived a very courageous life.
Brit Marling
I feel like developing the muscle of my imagination became a way to survive reality.
Brit Marling
Writing so that I can act became a way of having not more control over my future but not having to wait for permission. You can choose yourself. Hmm, who should play this part? I nominate me!

Any man worth his salt loves a feminist. Only men who are afraid of the feminine in themselves are afraid of women.
Brit Marling
Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.

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

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