Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.

Julia Stiles

I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don’t do anything that outlandish anyway.

Knows Outlandish Thinking
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
With film, so much is in the director’s hands. Once something is cut together – unless you’re in the editing room – you don’t really remember what the alternatives are.

Cutting Editing Hands
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 never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them.

Actors Home Thinking
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 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 am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater – it reduces performance anxiety.

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

In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.

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

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

Analyzing Behavior Human
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.
