Brie Larson

I just don't understand why more actors aren't artists. ”

I'm extremely interested in art, every form of art, but I'm interested in it when it's good and interested in it when it's interesting. ”

The only way I can feel comfortable being an actor is if I can find stories that I believe are important to be shared. ”

I guess I was always an outsider and some kind of anarchist. ”

I used to dislike it, but now I like it more and more, feeling small. I like feeling like a little speck. ”

Acting isn't like being an athlete. There's no real quantifiable measure. It's just a bunch of people feeling things. ”

I'm pretty tough and picky when it comes to actors that I admire. ”

I don't like being able to be reached. I enjoy my solitude. Even people having my phone number seems like too much. ”

When what you do is play characters every day, all day, I wasn't really interested in playing a pop star on the weekends. ”

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. ”
