Whatever anyone says, I think the opposite will happen.
From Jessica Chastain
I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, 'No, you just have anxiety.'
When something happens, I always check myself and know it's going to go away. So be prepared for it. This is a tough business for actors who are sensitive. If you try to hold on to things, you'll go crazy.
I'm inspired by people who are so sensitive and vulnerable that they try to cover it up.
There is this immediate connection, this intimacy when you're acting because there's no room to be polite or shy. Also, as an actor I get to connect with women I've never met before.
Okay, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I'm a very superstitious person. I'm walking onto the plane as we speak. I'm putting my hands on the outside of the plane and my feet are on the lip of the plane. I have to do it every time before I fly.
I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.
I try not to fake anything.
I'm the first person in my family to go to college.
I can't even open my eyes underwater.
