I think when you work with really wonderful directors who have a really strong vision, it lets you as an artist set the tone for your own career. – Sarah Gadon
That’s the amazing thing about our jobs; it’s constantly changing, and it’s extremely dynamic, and you, therefore, have to be dynamic as well. – Sarah Gadon
I’m part of a generation that’s saying, ‘I don’t want to do just one thing, and I’m going to do things the way I want.’ – Sarah Gadon
I think Tilda Swinton is terribly interesting. I think she’s fascinating. I love her work. – Sarah Gadon
Working with Mr. Armani is such an incredible experience because he’s so creative and such a visionary, and Linda Cantello is amazing and a true artist. – Sarah Gadon
When you fall in love with favourite movie stars, it’s not because they’re movie stars and unattainable, but because they show you sides of themselves that are extremely personal. – Sarah Gadon
If we learn to understand each other, we will have a better understanding of ourselves. – Sarah Gadon
When it came time to go to university, I wanted to study cinema studies and theater and not necessarily do a fine arts degree. – Sarah Gadon
I think it’s really important for artists in general to invest in themselves. And I view my schoolwork as something I’m investing in for me. And I’m my own product as an actor. There’s a kind of career that I want, and I feel like I’m making choices to obtain that. – Sarah Gadon
It’s so often that I read for the bouncy, sunny girl men fall in love with who will solve all the romantic problems in the narrative. I don’t choose to work that way. – Sarah Gadon
I look at scripts, and sometimes I apply theory to them. For ‘Antiviral,’ for example, I was reading Laura Mulvey’s ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,’ and it was all about the psychological process by which we fetishize the female image. It’s all about scopophilia. – Sarah Gadon
Sometimes when you’re working on a period piece, there’s this tendency to be nostalgic about the period and do everything superglamorous, which can end up looking cliche. – Sarah Gadon
My chosen occupation isn’t necessarily movie star; I see my chosen occupation as actor. – Sarah Gadon
I really like Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in the winter because it has SPF, and it’s still important to protect your skin from the sun in the wintertime. I’m also really into also vera – just organic, natural aloe vera gel that I put on all over my skin to moisturize. – Sarah Gadon
I read a lot about her. I read a lot of bios. I read bios about the royal family; I read this little novella called ‘The Uncommon Reader,’ which is a fiction: it’s about Queen Elizabeth going on this library bus and choosing books and reading them, but it’s so sweet. – Sarah Gadon
When you’re wearing a corset for a long period of time, things that were important to you hours before are no longer important, because doing them exhausts you. – Sarah Gadon
You can have a bunch of great actors in a film, but if you don’t have anyone telling a great story, it’s a moot point. – Sarah Gadon
I fell in love with filmmaking. I fell in love with criticism. I fell in love with theory, and it made me really dogmatic in my approach to choosing roles. – Sarah Gadon
I wore a pink Betsey Johnson dress to my prom, and I pretty much looked like a pink cupcake. I loved that dress! – Sarah Gadon
I think about work all the time. I was in my bathroom yesterday and thought, ‘I could never work again.’ I don’t have a job lined up right now – what if I never get another one? – Sarah Gadon
It was really great to be part of the Philip Roth story as a woman in a very complete way. – Sarah Gadon
The kinds of films that I’m used to doing are independent films. They’re very small character-driven pieces, and there isn’t as much spectacle involved. – Sarah Gadon
When you’re in a very specific kind of wardrobe, it kind of dictates your movement; it also kind of enables you – or, I guess, disables you – from certain kinds of movement. – Sarah Gadon
I really like directors who give you a certain amount of autonomy because I think a lot about my characters and I think a lot about scenes and choices. – Sarah Gadon
It’s particularly important for a young woman to be in control of her image – to a certain extent. I mean, there’s only so much you can do, because people take photos with you and then all of a sudden they pop up all over the place, they’re completely out of context and you have no control over how they’re used. – Sarah Gadon
I think a liberal arts education isn’t necessarily about doing something with your degree; it’s about becoming a critical thinker. And I think that critical thinking is so integral to being an actor. – Sarah Gadon
