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.

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

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.

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.

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
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
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
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 always feel like a goofy little kid.
Julia Stiles
I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.
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
Sometimes I have these abstract ideas and then lose track of myself.
Julia Stiles
In my worst moments, I try to think about loving instead of hating. Creation versus destruction, know what I'm sayin'?
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 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
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.
