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.

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.

I tend to gravitate toward the more powerful roles. As opposed to the doe-eyed girl who bats her eyelashes and runs around in towels, you now what I mean? Because that kind of makes me want to vomit.

Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down. My brain and body can go into overdrive - yoga teaches me to focus on the moment and not get ahead of myself.
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
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.

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.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.
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
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 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
Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.
Julia Stiles
Actors can write and produce too. Then when I was working on Jason Bourne - having had that experience - instead of going back to my trailer and being separate from everyone else, I would sit behind the monitor and watch Paul Greengrass work and be much more included in the process. That was new for me and really enriching.
Julia Stiles
Fundamentally women and men are different.
Julia Stiles
I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway.
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.
Julia Stiles
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.
Julia Stiles
Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.
Julia Stiles
There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.
Julia Stiles
We can become very short-sighted in terms of objectives. The first thing to go during times of economic crisis and budget cuts is funding for things that are essential and not-quantifiable, like the arts. Save Big Bird
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.
