“Hear me loud and clear: If you are a human who requires water to survive, then this issue directly involves you. Don’t let the automatic sink faucets in your homes fool you — that water comes from somewhere, and the second its source is contaminated, so is your bathtub, and your sink, and your drinking liquid. We must not take for granted the severity of this truth. Whatever your cause is. Whatever your passion is. Whatever you care about most… none of your efforts or hard-earned opinions will matter when the planet and the people you’re fighting for have nothing left to show for it.”

“Living in a state of fear makes no sense. If I have x number of days to live; I am not going to live them in fear. Where’s the laughter in it? Where’s the joy?” - Shailene Woodley

You forget that you do choose your life and there are so many things to be grateful for and I feel like society has gotten to that point where we’re always looking for the next and the better and we lose sight of what’s actually in front of us.

“People were suddenly asking me all kinds of questions. What would my next movie be? What was I wearing? Did I think I would get an Oscar nomination? I was told to start dressing more ‘cosmopolitan’ for my ‘campaign.’ I remember saying, ‘Are you telling me that if I dress a certain way, my chances are better for an Oscar? That makes me want to show up naked.’ They said, ‘Well—if you’re naked, your chances will be very good.’ ”

I have the luxury of having been an actor since I was five, so I know that nothing comes overnight and I know that you have to work really hard in order to be successful. I know if I don’t work for five or six years, maybe it will be harder to get a film, but if I’m not booking films, I will bust my ass at acting classes because if it’s something I’m still that passionate about, then why wouldn’t I want to continue to improve my craft? But if I’m being hired simply because my name is a name, that doesn’t feel good. That’s like somebody buying your painting simply because of how much they’re told it’s worth, versus actually enjoying looking at that painting and feeling inspired by it.

I don’t have a plan. I’m not strategizing my next move until a movie comes along that really fuels my soul.

“She is completely and unapologetically her beautiful self. While filming, we hiked a lot. We would meet at a co-op, grab some figs, and then hit the trail… She walks slowly and with care so that not even a spider web is destroyed in her path. There is so much love and gratitude in her.” - Brie Larson about Shailene Woodley

“I mean, if we spent as much energy focusing on the genocide that’s going on right now in parts of Africa as we spent on that one article, think about what we could accomplish. Change is not going to come from focusing on the small things that actors say.” — Shailene Woodley

We’re like the Factionless now. We’ve left everything behind, but we found ourselves and each other. Tomorrow we may have to fight again, but for now we’ll ride the train to the end of the line. And then, we’ll jump.

What is “Bye Felicia”? That’s when, like, the girl nobody cares about leaves the room, you’re like ‘Bye Felicia.’

I don’t want to be just one thing. I can’t be. I want to be brave, and I want to be selfless, intelligent, and honest and kind. Well, I’m still working on kind.
