I’ve become more comfortable as time has gone on with saying goodbye because… I’ve been having so many conversations about the cyclical nature of life. It just keeps going. – Brie Larson
Each step of the way, I’m learning. When I leave an interview, I learn whether I feel, ‘Oh, that was nice,’ or that made me feel like a little piece of me was taken. – 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. – Brie Larson
I always felt like reality was a bizarre place, and everybody was really good at being normal, and I didn’t know how to do it. – Brie Larson
Even the news, to me, or newspapers, I have a hard time getting into it because it all sucks you into this negative, bad, there-is-no-hope side of it. – Brie Larson
I won’t do things for money. I can’t. So I’ll hold out and say, in my mind, ‘There’s a really cool diner down the street from my house. They make really good pancakes; I’d be happy doing that.’ – 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. – Brie Larson
I just really like learning. I have to keep using my brain; otherwise, I get depressed. – 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. – 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. – Brie Larson
The point to have a child is to introduce them to this planet that is in some ways dying and hopefully, this new generation, these new untainted brains, will be the people to fix some of these things that this generation can’t. – Brie Larson
I think seeing the love between a mother and child is something we can all really relate to. You can remember it from your own childhood perspective. – Brie Larson
I’m just getting my sea legs. The first time you make them laugh, you’re like, ‘Oh my God – that just happened.’ Then you’re like, ‘I made them laugh. I’ve earned this.’ – Brie Larson
I think more things are becoming socially acceptable. I think that just by having more media, whether that’s TV or Internet, we’re able to see more things. – Brie Larson
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That’s the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I’m wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it. – Brie Larson
Acting isn’t like being an athlete. There’s no real quantifiable measure. It’s just a bunch of people feeling things. – Brie Larson
I just don’t want to stop finding things interesting. I don’t want to ever stop learning. I want to be a weird encyclopedia of bizarre knowledge. – Brie Larson
I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor. – Brie Larson
We’ve all recognized the moment when the world has handed us a situation that is bigger than our youth can handle, and we have to grow up in a second. And when you do get to the other side, all it does is take us to this new level of existence that is more beautiful and more complex and, in some ways, more painful. – 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. – Brie Larson
I’m learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I’m not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times. – 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. – Brie Larson
