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 feel like I have a skill set, but every experience is different and there's always room for improvement.

I did a different production with a different director and Bill Pullman. Oleanna­ - the one you saw - we were doing right after Bourne Identity or right after it came out.

I pretty much grew up in public.

I always loved how people like Jon Voight and Laurence Olivier shocked you every time they came on-screen. They were so different each time. That's what I hope to do with acting - be the chameleon and not get stuck in a type.

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

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.
