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 like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.
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'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 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
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.

Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.
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
I always feel like a goofy little kid.

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
Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.
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've always been fascinated with the idea of people paying for sex and what goes on with that and why that happens.
Julia Stiles
Fundamentally women and men are different.
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
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
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 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
Yoga has stopped me from destroying my joints after running. It slows me down.
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.
