Jessica Chastain Thinking Quotations

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

Whatever anyone says, I think the opposite will happen.

I have a feeling that very soon I'm going to fail very, very big. I'm going to try something and everybody's going to be like, 'What was she thinking?

It's a fact, the majority of films in Hollywood are from the male perspective. And the female characters, very rarely do they get to speak to another female character in a movie, and when they do it's usually about a guy, not anything else. So they're very male-centric, Hollywood films, in general. So I think it's incredible that Ned Benson, when I said I'd love to know where she goes, says okay, I'm going to write another film from the female perspective.

I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.

To a female superhero her sexiness is not the most important thing about her, it's her mind, her spirit, and when I look at that character that to me is an example of characters that I like to play and I think it does a great thing for women.
