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

Theater makes working in movies or TV seem like a cake-walk.

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.

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.

I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going.

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.

In my worst moments, I try to think about loving instead of hating. Creation versus destruction, know what I'm sayin'?
