More quotes by 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
I'm not really capable of memorizing stuff without moving around, that's how I do it.
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
I can say I'm a relationship person, and I like relationships. I think I also like relationships because then you don't have to date because dating is horrible.
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
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 feel like most people aren't either/or, they're both/and. You're both magnanimous and petty. You're both kind and cruel. You're never just one thing.
Greta Gerwig
I like things that look like mistakes.

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
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 think as an actress, I prefer having a character on the page. It allows you to be more invested in actually creating a whole person. It's easier when you're not trying to come up with your next line on the spot.
Greta Gerwig
I don't do well when I don't work.
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
In relationships, you learn a million things. I'm sure a therapist can tell you about it.
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.
Greta Gerwig
I think... I love Los Angeles. I live in New York, and I love New York as well, but I think Los Angeles is a place where if you have the right person with you, there are all these little worlds that you would never guess by just looking at the exterior of what the city is.
Greta Gerwig
I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.
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 like acting and things when I like the writing. If I don't like the writing, I don't like acting. I think in some ways everything starts for me from the place of writing.
Greta Gerwig
I like people who love books and movies and art and want to talk about it all the time, because that's basically what I want to talk about. Intellectuals that are funny.
