As an actor, you're only one little piece of the puzzle you're fulfilling someone else's vision. If you're involved earlier on, you're kind of creating your own.

More quotes by Julia Stiles
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.
Julia Stiles
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.
Julia Stiles
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
I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces.
Julia Stiles
My grandmother took me to a lot of theater. I was exposed to performance quite a bit - everything from Broadway to off-Broadway and dance and music as well. I was very lucky that way. It was a very rich childhood.
Julia Stiles
So I am happy to have fans, especially if it enables me to keep working. And I am really grateful when people respond to my work.
Julia Stiles
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.
Julia Stiles
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
Fundamentally women and men are different.
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.
Julia Stiles
I always feel like a goofy little kid.
Julia Stiles
In my early career, I look at that time as a series of trial and error and learning as I go.
Julia Stiles
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
Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down.
Julia Stiles
I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.
Julia Stiles
I've always been fascinated with the idea of people paying for sex and what goes on with that and why that happens.
Julia Stiles
I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting.
Julia Stiles
I’ve really turned a corner recently in terms of not taking work too seriously, so it is much easier for me to not take my work home.
Julia Stiles
I think I was born an artist. But the key is that I have a mom that encouraged and supported my artistic side. She still has the stick-figure drawings framed.
Julia Stiles
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.
