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.

My regular school didn't know what to do with me!

I pretty much grew up in public.

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 cannot believe that quality education costs as much as it does in this country. Ghetto Film School is a remarkable public high school in New York City where students get to learn to express themselves through filmmaking, and have hands-on access to equipment.

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.

Fundamentally women and men are different.

Being an actor is looked at like a prolonged game of dress-up. America puts movie stars on pedestals. In college, it's the flip side. I sometimes have to justify my job to my professors because they're focused on intellect and ideas.
