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.

More quotes by 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 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 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
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
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
When I felt like I was looking down the barrel of nothing on the horizon it was hard for me.
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
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'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 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 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
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 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 things that look like mistakes.
Greta Gerwig
I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.
Greta Gerwig
The economy is rough. I think that affects everyone from big filmmakers to tiny filmmakers.
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 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 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 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
