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 like a director that encourages me to be playful.

From Julia Stiles

I'm voting for Hillary Clinton, proudly. I think it's her time. I think she's very experienced, I think she'd make a good president. I also think it would be monumental to have the first female president in the United States.

From Julia Stiles

I'm terrified at the prospect of Donald Trump becoming president. I think he's disgusting, he's offensive. I think that it would be embarrassing for our country to have him sit down with world leaders and try and have a conference or even take a photo op. So we'll see what happens, but it's a very pivotal time in the U.S.

My parents always stressed finding some sort of creative outlet, so they would take me to dance classes, take me to jazz clubs.

From Julia Stiles

It would probably help my career if I lived in L.A., but I think it would be all-consuming. New York has its own little rat race going on, too. But it's also really diverse and has a lot of people doing different kinds of jobs. In L.A., work would be the only thing I'd think about, and sometimes, I need a break from that.

From Julia Stiles

It actually makes perfect sense why women in Hollywood get so skinny: because it's a way of controlling how people see you.

From Julia Stiles

I think the culture of the red carpet is too much like a modern-day coliseum. If you're being photographed all the time, and you don't like having a bad photograph taken, and if you're super, super thin, chances are you're never going to look fat in a picture.

From Julia Stiles

If Beyonce needs another back up dancer, I mean, I could make time.

From Julia Stiles

Whatever its origin, I'd like to see a cure for the Incredibly Shrinking Actress phenomena.
