Glamour UK cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Glamour UK magazine.
In Style cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the January 2015 issue of In Style magazine. She talks about filming The Tree of Life and not dating actors.
I made sure when I started that I was known for my work, not for whom I was dating. Acting is all about being open to another person, and to date an actor, it just confuses it, because how do you even know if it’s real?
Interview cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the November 2014 issue of Interview magazine. She talks about doing comedy, being prepared as an actor, and interviews that didn’t characterize her correctly.
There was an article that completely misquoted me, or re-edited what I said, to make their own conclusions. One time I was characterized as having this crippling fear, which is insane. I thrive on fear. Fear actually propels me forward. I am an emotional person. I’m an awkward girl. I get a little shy, and I get nervous a lot. But every time I think I can’t do something, I actually want to do it. I’m very in touch with my emotions, but I’m not a crybaby.
Glamour cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the November issue of Glamour, and discusses being bullied as a child.
I was told every day at school that I was ugly. And that no one wanted to be my friend. The most cruel things. If I can do anything to help young girls and to be a cheerleader for people who sometimes have low self-esteem, I want to do that.
Vogue cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the December 2013 issue of Vogue magazine. She talks about her life and her confidence.
I did not feel like a beautiful woman that people would kill each other for. Jessica — who I am in my personal life — I’m very shy, I feel very awkward, I don’t feel like a femme fatale at all.
British GQ cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the January 2013 issue of British GQ magazine. She talks about working with Brad Pitt, her film Zero Dark Thirty, and being a redhead.
You Brits are usually so mean to your redheads. Why is that? In America it’s seen as a good thing. Look at Julia Roberts – she’s cool, right? I was working in Thailand and I’d be walking down the street and people – British people – would stop the car and scream, ‘ginger!’ at me.
W cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the January 2013 issue of W magazine. She talks about envisioning she was right for Tree of Life, trusting a fellow artist, and getting a character for The Heiress on Broadway.
I love the feeling of giving myself over to another strong point of view. It’s the best kind of trust—the belief that an artist will take care of me while creating something unique.
Crash cover

Asos cover
Chastain appears on the cover of the December 2011 issue of Asos magazine. She talks about her first red carpet experience, when Vogue named her their latest style crush, and when Madonna presented her with the Gucci award.
It’s a little embarrassing to even talk about, because you think, ‘What has happened to my life?!’
Los Angeles Times cover
Chastain appears on the cover of a September 2011 issue of Los Angeles Times magazine. She talks about how she approaches each role.
You know, over the past four years, I’ve made 11 films, and I always approach things with the idea of, ‘Who’s going to be my teacher on this set? What am I gonna learn?’ I never think about how much money I’m going to make or if a movie is going to make me famous. I just think, ‘How is this a master class for me right now?’
