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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

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.

I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.

I like things that look like mistakes.

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.

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
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
I'm not really capable of memorizing stuff without moving around, that's how I do it.
Greta Gerwig
Image
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.

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.

In relationships, you learn a million things. I'm sure a therapist can tell you about it.

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.

Image
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
Image
I had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.
Greta Gerwig
Image
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.

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.
