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

Julia Stiles

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.

Friend Good Keeping Nervous Secrets
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.

I did a run of a play over the summer in a really tiny theater in New York and that was rejuvenating for me. I directed a short series for Hulu called Paloma and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting.

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.

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.

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

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

Innocent Ophelia Roles
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 feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there’s always room for improvement.

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.
