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

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

Hate Moments Thinking Worst
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.

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.

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

Knows Outlandish Thinking
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 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.

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.
