More quotes by 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.

We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.

I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.

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
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 take great responsibility in any character that I play.
Jessica Chastain
Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.
Jessica Chastain
I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, No, you just have anxiety.
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
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
I don't want to be in my car all day. I love getting up in the morning in Venice and walking my dogs down to the café to get my tea, and then perhaps going to a bookstore and sitting and reading, then walking to the beach.
Jessica Chastain
I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

No matter what, I'm going to ask for more.
