More quotes by 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'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 don't do well when I don't work.
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 had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.
Greta Gerwig
I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.
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'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
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 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
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
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
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 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
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
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 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'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.
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 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
