I like analyzing human behavior. It’s complex. That’s what keeps me going.

Analyzing Behavior Human
I like a director who is very observant and is watching what I’m doing and noticing what I’m doing, but is giving me time to figure it out. They don’t jump right in and give you a note before you’ve had time to really search on your own with how to do a scene.

Directors Giving Scene
I know it sounds earnest, but I do really feel in my bones that acting is just a small part of the equation when you are making a movie. The director really is in charge. Actors are as important or unimportant as the rest of the people around them.

The thing with the Bourne movies is that they’re so big in scope and the production value is so high and it takes so much organization.

Bigs Organization Scope
It was nice that there [ in the Bourne Ultimatum ] was a reference to the relationship . It’s very subtle – it’s actually without dialogue. I do think it’s powerful even without words.

My regular school didn’t know what to do with me!

I feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there’s always room for improvement.

I think women get caught up too much in having a plan – ‘I’m going to get married at this age I’m going to have a kid at this age’ – and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don’t want my life to be based on that.

Guy Kids Thinking
I’ve really turned a corner recently in terms of not taking work too seriously, so it is much easier for me to not take my work home.

Easier Home Seriously Term
Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles.
