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.

More quotes by Greta Gerwig
When I felt like I was looking down the barrel of nothing on the horizon it was hard for me.
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
In relationships, you learn a million things. I'm sure a therapist can tell you about it.
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'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.
Greta Gerwig
I like movies about women behaving badly, because women behave badly just like men, and we're not always adorable and cute about it.
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
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
I'm interested in the feeling of getting to zero after a play, like you're never going to do it again. That's a really scary feeling.
Greta Gerwig
I don't do well when I don't work.
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
Movies are now more often watched on the small screen anyway. But at least for me, what got lost in that is the difference in the medium.
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.
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 not really capable of memorizing stuff without moving around, that's how I do it.
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
It feels like when I write, it's intuitive. This is true of Frances, and it's true of this [The Funniest Movie Of The Summer].
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 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 the problem with growing up and idealizing self-destructive artists is that you only see the beauty they created rather than all the pain that went along with it.
Greta Gerwig
