"Talent comes in many guises, but all original talents
share the same quality: They're unique, one of a kind.
Totally unlike the rest of the crowd. Jessica Chastain,
at least to my mind, is one of our original talents,
a rare and gifted actress."

"Quite frankly, I didn't even want to use you guys, with your dip and velcro and all your gear bullsht.
I wanted to drop a bomb. But people didn't believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb. So they're
using you guys as canaries. And, in theory, if bin Laden isn't there, you can sneak away and no one
will be the wiser. But bin Laden is there. And you're going to kill him for me." [Maya]

"The other side of Jessica that not as many people know is that she is
an utter slave to her craft and one of the hardest-working people I've
ever met, let alone directed in a film. Jessica strives in everything she
does. She works and works, tirelessly, on a range of quality projects
— large films, independent films, Broadway — she does it all."

“There is a very definite arc for Maya, but the wonderful thing about her
and actually the most difficult thing about her as an actor to play is she’s
someone who does not explain her subtext, She doesn’t take the time to
say how she feels. She doesn’t like sit down and have a drink with someone
and talk about her feelings. I mean, she’s so haunted by this mission.”
- Jessica Chastain
