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
Image
Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.
Jessica Chastain
Image
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.

Image
Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.
Jessica Chastain
Image
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
Image
I don't want to torture anything. It's about trying to live a life where I'm not contributing to the cruelty in the world... While I am on this planet, I want everyone I meet to know that I am grateful they are here.
Jessica Chastain
Image
I think you have to take the whole idea of wage equality out of the film industry.
