Science fiction has a way of letting you talk about where we are in the world and letting you be a bit of a pop philosopher without being didactic.
From Brit Marling
If you play it safe every time, then you're missing the best part of acting. You haven't learned anything about your humanity.
You are the sum total of the choices you make every day.
I didn't understand how you could be an actor if you didn't also study philosophy and study political science, astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.
Life is beautiful because it doesn't last.
I wasn't actually very naturally good at economics. My brain doesn't work very well, in terms of mathematics.
Human beings are flawed and complicated and messy.
I feel like I'm a much better person when I'm developing my imagination and my innocence and my vulnerability. I like that version of me better than the version where I'm just working on my analytical mind.
I think we're scared of intimacy - all of us, a little bit.
So at some point you realize that your life is not just going to start one day in the future, that you're living it.
