More quotes by 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
Women perform great in the box office. Audiences want to see lead female characters.
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 love talking about acting. I'm just such a fan of actors and filmmakers, and I try to choose roles where I get to talk to great actors about acting and learn.
Jessica Chastain
I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.
Jessica Chastain
I've never been in New York for the whole time of Fashion Week.
Jessica Chastain
I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, No, you just have anxiety.
Jessica Chastain
I think you have to take the whole idea of wage equality out of the film industry.

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've had to learn how to say 'no' to offers.
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
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 don't like the idea that fame could mean that people can no longer relate to me.
Jessica Chastain
To a female superhero her sexiness is not the most important thing about her, it's her mind, her spirit, and when I look at that character that to me is an example of characters that I like to play and I think it does a great thing for women.
Jessica Chastain
I can't even open my eyes underwater.
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.
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
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
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
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.
