More quotes by Jessica Chastain
I absolutely made the decision that that cannot be the reason why I'm doing a film or a job. For me, it's always about the script and whether I'm doing something that I've never done before.
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
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
Most of the women I spoke to were pushing agendas that they felt connected to - more so than with the male lobbyists I met with.
Jessica Chastain
I'm very sensitive in real life. I cannot not cry if someone around me is crying. I will start to cry if someone is crying, even if it's not appropriate. I have that thing in me, a weakness or sensitivity.

Jessica Chastain
I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
Jessica Chastain
Look at Hispanic women - they are being paid 42 cents on the dollar - or African-American women. I think it's an issue we have to look at across the board.

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 remember being a teenager and having a boyfriend - this guy I thought I was way better than, and completely out of his league. He was a year younger than me. And he broke up with me. It was so shocking, and I couldn't believe it.
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
I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, No, you just have anxiety.
Jessica Chastain

I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
