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
When I felt like I was looking down the barrel of nothing on the horizon it was hard for me.
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 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
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 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
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 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
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
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
The economy is rough. I think that affects everyone from big filmmakers to tiny filmmakers.
Greta Gerwig
I'm not really capable of memorizing stuff without moving around, that's how I do it.
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
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 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
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
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 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 didn't know the city at all, but I was so happy to be in New York I cried. I was so excited.
