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

In my worst moments, I try to think about loving instead of hating. Creation versus destruction, know what I’m sayin’?
JULIA STILES

Hate Moments Thinking Worst
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.

Acting Important People
I think it’s really special to be a part of something that people are still watching or thinking about or interested in, or remember fondly many years later. I don’t think it’s annoying at all.

People Thinking Years
I worked regularly from very early on, and some of it was probably a bit premature.

Bits Premature Probably
I used to struggle a lot with dwelling on how the day at work was, and I would dwell on my performance. Now, I’m like, “Well, that’s over and done with, and I can’t control the outcome, so move on.” I just remember that it’s entertainment I am making.

Dwelling Moving Struggle
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 remember seeing Janet McTeer in A Doll’s House. My grandmother took me and we had seats in the very back row, but her performance was so powerful – it was very accessible. I felt like I was much closer than I was.

I’m going to Columbia University but I’m trying to keep that low-profile because I don’t want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life.

College People Trying
I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.

It’s not my job to critique the writing. I’m there to serve it. I had to figure out a way to make it work.

Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down.

Joints Running Yoga
Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down. My brain and body can go into overdrive – yoga teaches me to focus on the moment and not get ahead of myself.

Focus Running Yoga
I did a run of a play over the summer in a really tiny theater in New York and that was rejuvenating for me. I directed a short series for Hulu called Paloma and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting.

Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.

I never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them.

Actors Home Thinking
I really like Shakespeare a lot. The characters that he writes for females, I think, are really great and a lot more compelling than what modern writers write, which is weird because they didn’t have actresses then.
