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.

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.

Figure Jobs Way Writing
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 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.

Grandmother House Performance Powerful
I am forever grateful that I got some training in the theater – it reduces performance anxiety.

Anxiety Forever Grateful
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.

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.

I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent.

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 did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna – the one you saw – we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out.

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

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