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

Julia Stiles

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
As an actor, you’re only one little piece of the puzzle; you’re fulfilling someone else’s vision. If you’re involved earlier on, you’re kind of creating your own.

Creating Little Vision
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

I’m not good at keeping secrets. If I’m entrusted with a secret from a friend, I can do that because I’m a good friend, but I don’t like having secrets, it makes me nervous.

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

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.

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

The only thing that gets me through any type of pain, emotional or physical, is to make it worthwhile by putting it into my work.
JULIA STILES

Emotional Pain Type
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.

I pretty much grew up in public.
