More quotes by Jessica Chastain
I think you have to take the whole idea of wage equality out of the film industry.
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
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
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
No matter what, I'm going to ask for more.
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
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 love fall because I love the whole cuddling aspect of it, and a sweater dress has that vibe of I'm going to hunker down and be warm, but it's also very feminine.
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
Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.
Jessica Chastain
I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
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
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
Robin Williams was the kind of generous person who would do things but not want to receive public credit for it.
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 the unknown everyone's already sick of.
Jessica Chastain
It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...
Jessica Chastain
Someone doesn't think immediately, I want to be a lobbyist.
