More quotes by Jessica Chastain
I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.
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 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 have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
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 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
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's okay to be ambitious, it's okay to be over-prepared.
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
I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.
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'm used to working really hard to get a role. I was always auditioning and talking my way into roles.
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 never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
Jessica Chastain
Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.
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
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.
Jessica Chastain
When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.
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.
