I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one.

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.

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.

Education is huge for me. I went to public school until I turned thirteen, and was lucky enough to afford college once I became successful as an actress.

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.

The thing with the Bourne movies is that they're so big in scope and the production value is so high and it takes so much organization.

Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles.
