More quotes by Greta Gerwig
Using the energy in a scene can really cut the fat off of something and streamline it. It can make it work for you and activate it for you in a way.
Greta Gerwig
I think any break-up from a long relationship has this accompanying feeling of who am I without this person. You feel like a half-person because you've integrated yourself into an idea of a couple for so long, and then teasing that out and finding out who you are without them, it just takes a while. It feels like an amputation.
Greta Gerwig
The economy is rough. I think that affects everyone from big filmmakers to tiny filmmakers.
Greta Gerwig
There are a million little things, but one of the best ways to get to know characters is to just put them in situations and see what they say.
Greta Gerwig
We would go down to Riverside, California, which is very poor now, but that's where my grandfather grew up. He grew up during the Depression in Riverside.
Greta Gerwig
In relationships, you learn a million things. I'm sure a therapist can tell you about it.
Greta Gerwig
When I felt like I was looking down the barrel of nothing on the horizon it was hard for me.
Greta Gerwig
I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.
Greta Gerwig
I didn't know the city at all, but I was so happy to be in New York I cried. I was so excited.
Greta Gerwig
I love shooting in New York because I love the city. Ultimately, I like doing it there and the city is important to the story, but it can be hard to shoot where you live too because it is so all-absorbing.
Greta Gerwig
You keep learning how to let go and to live the life that you actually have, as opposed to the life you thought you were going to have.
Greta Gerwig
I love just seeing shots of New York inside of a fictional movie that are not controlled. I do not like shots with extras, I have to say. I don't mind extras in other scenes, but I love New York City streets just as they look. I don't even care if someone looks at the camera. It doesn't bother me.
Greta Gerwig
I don't do well when I don't work.
Greta Gerwig
I like things that look like mistakes.
Greta Gerwig
I think when you're a teenager, you always feel as if life is happening somewhere else - it certainly isn't happening to you. And then you get to the place where you think your life is supposed to be, and you look around and realize it doesn't exist.
Greta Gerwig
I had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.
Greta Gerwig
I think I'm pretty committed to staying. I'm not committed to not doing big movies, but I am committed to continuing to make smaller movies, not for the sake of making smaller movies, but because I think it's really invigorating to just go work with people and know that it might be awful.
Greta Gerwig
I’m not saying that everyone needs to be celibate, but you don’t need a romance to complete a story about a woman
Greta Gerwig
Getting bad reviews or doing something thats not great is also really good for you as an actor. It also makes me feel as an actor that Ive earned my stripes a bit.
Greta Gerwig
When I did plays in high school and college, I never remember memorizing my lines, but once I had blocking, I had all my lines memorized. Once I had movement associated with words, it was fine. Before I had blocking, it was just text on a page. Once it became embodied, it was much easier.
