More quotes by Jessica Chastain
There is this immediate connection, this intimacy when you're acting because there's no room to be polite or shy. Also, as an actor I get to connect with women I've never met before.
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
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
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
I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.
Jessica Chastain
I spent a lot of the last five years on a set, and every once in a while you take stock of your life and look at what you're doing.
Jessica Chastain
Someone doesn't think immediately, I want to be a lobbyist.
Jessica Chastain
I've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.
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 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
I have problems because I'm very expressive, and usually red lipstick gets on my teeth and face.
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
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.
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
People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.
Jessica Chastain
It's okay to be ambitious, it's okay to be over-prepared.
Jessica Chastain
Any man that dates me, the thing they're gonna have to live up is my dad - he's a real hero.
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 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.
