Jessica Chastain Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jessica Chastain:

I never heard in my entire life that a man was overprepared for anything. I am overprepared in my life. What's wrong with being ambitious, being overprepared, being one step ahead?

I'm not taking jobs anymore where I'm getting paid a quarter of what the male co-star is being paid. I'm not allowing that in my life.

Jessica Chastain

I'm working hard to break free of stereotypes that the film industry has created and nurtured around women.

Jessica Chastain

Acting, for me, has never been about wanting attention or wanting to be seen. It's funny that I'm in a profession where that's where I am. There's so much I want to express; it's about connecting with another person and the intimacy of what that is, and so I have to overcome my shyness.

Jessica Chastain

Okay, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I'm a very superstitious person. I'm walking onto the plane as we speak. I'm putting my hands on the outside of the plane and my feet are on the lip of the plane. I have to do it every time before I fly.

Jessica Chastain

This is what the media does with women. You try to divide and conquer women so you can intimidate and victimise them. This is why they don't make movies where a lot of women get to be on set together. It's about dividing.

Jessica Chastain

When something happens, I always check myself and know it's going to go away. So be prepared for it. This is a tough business for actors who are sensitive. If you try to hold on to things, you'll go crazy.

Jessica Chastain

I just don't think of myself as a movie star - I'm an actress.

Jessica Chastain

I never heard in my entire life that a man was overprepared for anything. I am overprepared in my life. What's wrong with being ambitious, being overprepared, being one step ahead?

Jessica Chastain

There is this immediate connection, this intimacy when you're acting because there's no room to be polite or shy. Also, as an actor I get to connect with women I've never met before.

Jessica Chastain

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, 'No, you just have anxiety.'

Jessica Chastain

The power of 'no' means you're educating people in how to treat you.

Jessica Chastain

I'm very much a hippie from Northern California.

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

One of my goals is to play a villain in a Bond film. People ask me if I want to be a Bond girl, and I say, 'No, I want to be the villain.' I'm waiting for that call!

Jessica Chastain

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

Jessica Chastain

For the longest time, people would say to me that I didn't feel very modern, that I seemed from another time.

Jessica Chastain

I love being around great actors and film-makers, and I try to hide the fact that I'm in awe of them.

Jessica Chastain

When you take away healthcare from women, you're keeping women out of the workforce because you're eliminating their choice of when to start a family.

Jessica Chastain

Whatever anyone says, I think the opposite will happen.

Jessica Chastain

People were confused by me, and at first I was auditioning a lot for the crazy characters or the victim, someone who'd been attacked. Which is great, because usually those are the best acting roles.

Jessica Chastain

I am not one to go for traditional female roles, because I don't think traditionally female characters are very interesting, and I don't think they represent real life.

Jessica Chastain

I find it very interesting: when 90 percent of the critics that review films are men, how is that helpful when trying to create stories from a feminine point of view?

Jessica Chastain

I can't tell you how many incredible directors I long to work with, but then I look at their IMDb page, and they haven't made a single movie about a woman.

Jessica Chastain

Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve.

Jessica Chastain

I sometimes go to a movie and eat my popcorn and turn my brain off. I love those movies. But the movies I like to be in, for the most part, are the ones that challenge you.

Jessica Chastain

What can I do to create a healthy work environment? Because we have all been groomed to the normalization of violence and the normalization of abuse. And we refuse to live in that society.

Jessica Chastain

I'm inspired by antiques. I look at things that have a wink to the past but are also reinterpreted in some way and made to feel modern... and maybe that's what I am.

Jessica Chastain

We have grown up watching women be used as props on a man's journey. It's not our fault that that's what we saw as children. But we need to acknowledge that and do better.

Jessica Chastain

I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.

Jessica Chastain

I understood the importance of doing an Aaron Sorkin film. He's a political filmmaker.

Jessica Chastain

I'm very sensitive in real life. I cannot not cry if someone around me is crying. I will start to cry if someone is crying, even if it's not appropriate. I have that thing in me, a weakness or sensitivity.

Jessica Chastain

When I first moved to Los Angeles, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me.

Jessica Chastain

I'm such a geek.

Jessica Chastain

I've spent my life being embarrassed.

Jessica Chastain

If someone doesn't want to hire me because they think I'm too vocal, fine. I will do a play. I will always find a job. Let them try to get me out of this industry. I am not going to be silenced!

Jessica Chastain

Women can be powerful, graceful, and complex, with the ability to make any choice they desire.
