“I wasn't perfect and didn't have it together. I felt alone. So through...” — Brie Larson Quote

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.

For me, the dumbest rule is that you can't chew gum in school.

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.

It seems like people have to get their thrills somehow.

I know very little about acting. I'm just an incredibly gifted faker.

Having the right people around you all the time is important. I do take the acting seriously. But this is all fun. I look at it like smoke and mirrors. I still think it's a dream, but I ain't pinching myself yet.

I think it's much richer and much more fun to be an artist than to be anything else. I can't think of a better life than acting.

I'm curious about other people. That's the essence of my acting. I'm interested in what it would be like to be you.

I just love acting.
