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.

More quotes by Jessica Chastain
Someone doesn't think immediately, I want to be a lobbyist.
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
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 can't even open my eyes underwater.
Jessica Chastain
It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...
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
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 was excited that my films would finally see the light of day and people would see them. But I never imagined that such nice things would be said about a lot of my films.
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 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 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
Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.
Jessica Chastain
No matter what, I'm going to ask for more.
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 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
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.
Jessica Chastain
I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.
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 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 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.
