More quotes by Jessica Chastain
I like things where I can do a physical transformation, and I love accents and voices, and I'm never going to play the same character twice.
Jessica Chastain
Robin Williams was the kind of generous person who would do things but not want to receive public credit for it.

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
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.

I don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.

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
Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.
Jessica Chastain
I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
Jessica Chastain
I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.
Jessica Chastain
When you're on a Terrence Malick film, it's like you're part of a family.
Jessica Chastain
I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.
Jessica Chastain
I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.
Jessica Chastain
We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.
Jessica Chastain
I'm used to working really hard to get a role. I was always auditioning and talking my way into roles.
Jessica Chastain
I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.
Jessica Chastain
I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, No, you just have anxiety.
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.
