More quotes by Jessica Chastain
Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.
Jessica Chastain
I didn't understand how much senators and members of the House are not able to represent the people because they're too busy fundraising to maintain their seat in office. I hope we as a country start looking at how we can change that.
Jessica Chastain
I've actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I'm carrying no baggage. They haven't seen me in anything, even though I've done nine films.
Jessica Chastain
I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
Jessica Chastain
I spent a lot of the last five years on a set, and every once in a while you take stock of your life and look at what you're doing.
Jessica Chastain
I can't even open my eyes underwater.
Jessica Chastain
You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.
Jessica Chastain
It's tough, acting. You have to walk two lines of a tightrope. There's the all-consuming fear of failure: I'm about to fall flat on my face. There's that and there's also confidence - you have to be confident in order to try things - and they fight each other all the time.
Jessica Chastain
It's easier to do an action scene than a love scene. I love fighting. When the camera's not rolling, I'll usually punch some of the actors, just for fun.
Jessica Chastain
An actress friend of mine shared a great trick. She told me to stick my tongue behind my teeth when I smile to keep from over-smiling. If you smile without doing it, sometimes your gums show a little too much. It's an actor's trick!
Jessica Chastain
Broadway has always been a dream of mine.
Jessica Chastain
I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.
Jessica Chastain
I find that the monsters are usually the people that I have the most empathy for because they're the ones that are hurt the most. There's a reason why they're the monsters.
Jessica Chastain
I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
Jessica Chastain
I take great responsibility in any character that I play.
Jessica Chastain
Every time an actress is celebrated for her great work, I cheer. For the more brilliant their performance, the more the audience demands stories about women... And as we all know: a great year for women in film, is just a great year for film.
Jessica Chastain
When something happens, I always check myself and know it's going to go away. So be prepared for it. This is a tough business for actors who are sensitive. If you try to hold on to things, you'll go crazy.
Jessica Chastain
It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...
Jessica Chastain
I don't really drink, and I've never been to a rave. I used to cut school to read Shakespeare, not to make out in the park.
Jessica Chastain
Maybe that's because there are so few women lobbyists if they're there, it's for something they strongly believe in, not just for financial gain.
