Trends are not real; they are for the consumer, and once we can get enough of us to free ourselves from it and realize that it's not about strong-arming our way through, it's about understanding that we are so needed for the balance of this planet, then I think we can start having changes.
Quote by -Brie Larson
We're coming into a new generation of women where there's the submissive woman, and then our reaction to it is, 'No, I'm a man, too, and I'm masculine,' and then we fight against it, which isn't the answer, either.
Quote by -Brie Larson
In my personal opinion, you miss out on the beauty of the moment if you go in planning what the moment is. It's like having a vacation too jam-packed with activities. You miss all of the sunsets.
Quote by -Brie Larson
Toni Collette has been a huge influence. She was my absolute number one idol, and then I got 'United States of Tara.' I was pinching myself. I couldn't believe the first day I was on set, and I got pages of dialogue of real stuff to do with her.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I've been really fortunate that I've worked with a lot of strong women who are also mothers.
Quote by -Brie Larson
Any movie I've done, my character has had a secret. Whether it's in the movie or not, it is usually never and it's usually not something I tell anybody. It is for me.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I don't deal well with being told what to wear and sit on a mark. It just feels like my soul is being ripped out.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I think I was always a little sponge as a kid, and I was always looking for more information constantly.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I made three or four different fonts during 'Short Term 12' -' it was how I'd calm my mind between scenes. I have graph paper and gel pens, and I would do the alphabet: just do 'a' over and over again until I got it perfect and then go to 'b' and then 'c'.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I was born in Sacramento but moved to Los Angeles with my mom and my little sister when I was seven.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I get uncomfortable and kind of scared sometimes of certain public situations because, since I've been on TV or I've appeared in some films, people think this boundary between us has been removed, and I owe them something.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I don't like being able to be reached. I enjoy my solitude. Even people having my phone number seems like too much.
Quote by -Brie Larson
We all enjoy a magic show, but we don't demand a Q&A afterward explaining how it was done.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I wasn't perfect and didn't have it together. I felt alone. So through acting, I decided to be a shape shifter and with every role become the character instead of being myself. It meant about 10 years of no one knowing I was the same person in every movie.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I started watching so many different types of women, saw all the complexities of them, all the ways and the look and shapes they could be, and I felt it was missing for me in American film. I didn't see anybody I was watching in movies that felt like me. I felt rather tortured and lonely about it.
Quote by -Brie Larson
Growing up, I just loved movies. It was how I saw the world, which I wanted to learn more about.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I didn't want to just watch a woman who was getting it right all the time. We're not perfect.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I'm 25. I'm a white, blonde girl in the entertainment industry - it's so easy to fall into a world of pleasing everyone. I feel more comfortable showing all these odd angles to myself.
Quote by -Brie Larson
What 'Short Term 12' did was it gave me the confidence to explore my intuition more. The healing process that came for me for making that movie and then sharing it with people - I was able to see, first hand, that movies can have a healing power and they can teach us things.
Quote by -Brie Larson
As an adult, there are technical aspects of filmmaking you understand, like having to pick up a cup on the same line every time.
Quote by -Brie Larson
When you eliminate all stimuli, your brain is like, 'Finally, we've got some space! I want to talk with you about something!'
Quote by -Brie Larson
When I was younger, watching movies, it felt like everything was glossy and beautiful, and I didn't really relate to it.
Quote by -Brie Larson
There were times my mom and I butted heads - over my curfew, over something like that. Whenever we would hit these moments of emotional backfire, she would say, 'You just don't understand what it's like to be a mother... I could never handle losing you.' I was like, 'OK, but just, like, chill out.'
Quote by -Brie Larson
A lot of stuff I was reading in mythology was about how women used to be taught to be wild. The wild woman was an essence that existed in the world. We're still coming back from many years of us being chiseled out to be identical and quiet.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I'd say there's more of a difference between a play and movie to TV than there is between TV and movies. But there's something involved in the repetition of things that require something different from me in order to sign onto a script.
Quote by -Brie Larson
My number-one website is brainpickings.org. It opens you up to different authors and gives insights into the literary world. Reading about the love letters novelist Vladimir Nabokov wrote to his wife Vera blew my mind. Fascinating.
Quote by -Brie Larson
Laughter is the best way to get over something or get closer to something. It's one of the things I respect most about Amy Schumer. She's found a way to get us closer to ourselves and see the ugly side of humanity, but not in a way that's pointing a finger or that's angry. She does it in a way that makes us see the absurdity and laugh at it.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I am becoming more recognisable in some ways, and some aspects of my privacy are going. But there's an upside: I have more opportunity to tell bigger stories and connect with more people. And I really relish that responsibility.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I think my mystery, or any person's mystery, is the thing that makes them most interesting. I try to be as conscious as possible of keeping that alive.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I'm just interested in all of the different ways that a woman can be. We don't have enough, when it comes to American film, that shows all of the different complexities and ways that a woman is interesting and mysterious and dynamic and really complicated.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I'm really interested in mythology and folklore. I'm interested in moralities, why we're here, faith... all of these bigger questions that I think we can place in films that allow us to question and give us a safe place to feel. Those types of questions can pop up in all sorts of different types of films - drama, comedy, action movie.
Quote by -Brie Larson
It takes a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of focus and dedication to do a film, and it's just not worth it if you're going to be miserable for even a day.
Quote by -Brie Larson
I've always felt like I've had the ability to choose which roles I was going to play. I don't think that the industry agreed with me, but I've always had a bit of a headstrong attitude of only doing the things that I really believe in and want to explore.
Quote by -Brie Larson
If you're in somebody's head for 12 hours a day for four weeks, it's like your brain actually wires itself to start thinking that way.
Quote by -Brie Larson
For me, 'Room' is an opportunity to relive an aspect of my childhood that I hadn't put a ton of thought into.
Quote by -Brie Larson
We lived in just a studio apartment with just a room and a bed that came out of the wall, and my mom couldn't afford even a Happy Meal. We ate Top Ramen. I had no toys, and I had, like, two shirts, a pair of jeans, and that was it. But I had my mom to myself, and I remember it being the coolest period of time. I loved it. I really loved it.
Quote by -Brie Larson
The idea of singing and dancing throughout my life and finding that bliss is something I wanted to express and explore within myself and hopefully spread that idea to other people.
Quote by -Brie Larson
For the most part, I've stayed as far away as possible from high school movies. I just don't find them to be that relatable to everybody? They become like this: 'Look at that period of time. Isn't that interesting?'
