I didnt understand how you could be an actor if you didnt also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences. – Brit Marling
Im still a bit of a romantic and an idealist and hopelessly naive. – Brit Marling
A lot of people think, Ill give acting or poetry or filmmaking a try. And if it doesnt work out Ill go get a law degree, do something else thats more practical. For me I went the reverse way. I lived the back-up plan. – Brit Marling
Ive found myself at one in the morning just sitting at my desk spending an hour returning emails from the day until like two in the morning. Its ridiculous, I should be sleeping, or dreaming, or reading a novel. – Brit Marling
As an actor, you have an accumulated knowledge base. But theres also something about it that every time you really feel like youre doing it for the first time you have no idea whether youre capable of it. – Brit Marling
I feel like Im a much better person when Im developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where Im just working on my analytical mind. – Brit Marling
I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I dont have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while Im blowing out candles gives me hives. – Brit Marling
Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic. – Brit Marling
