Anxiety Forever Grateful
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.

JULIA STILES

Easier Home Seriously Term
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 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.

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.
JULIA STILES

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