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.

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.

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.

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.

Theater is like going to the gym for actors.

I like a director that encourages me to be playful. I don't really like being restricted or controlled by a director.

Make yourself useful, not just on a day to day basis, but as a lifetime thing.
