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
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
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
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
Ive always had a huge fear of dying or becoming ill. The thing Im most afraid of, though, is being alone, which I think a lot of performers fear. Its why we seek the limelight – so were not alone, were adored. Were loved, so people want to be around us. The fear of being alone drives my life. – Jennifer Lopez
