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 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 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 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
The turning point was when I hit my 30th birthday. I thought, if really want to write, its time to start. I picked up the book How to Write a Novel in 90 Days. The author said to just write three pages a day, and I figured, I can do this. I never got past Page 3 of that book. – James Rollins
