More quotes by 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
The more time you invest in something, potentially, the deeper the emotional impact of the climax. It's true of relationships, too.
Brit Marling
I think sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical.
Brit Marling
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
The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.
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.

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

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
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.
Brit Marling
I'd studied theater growing up and loved that, but didn't have many examples of artists around me.

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 believe in what science fiction can do, which is it can set up simple rules that it has to follow to try to illuminate something about the present that is somewhat invisible to us.
Brit Marling
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.
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
I think movies do change people's hearts.

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