I'm slowly working up the courage to sing in front of other people, but I can carry a tune. I do some mean karaoke. Julia Stiles carrycouragefront Change image and share on social
I think the culture of the red carpet is too much like a modern-day coliseum. If you're being photographed all the time, and you don't like having a bad photograph taken, and if you're super, super thin, chances are you're never going to look fat in a picture.

We didn't have a backyard, so as I child, I would turn the coffee table into a stage and put on shows. But it was just a fun thing to do; I never thought about it as a profession. That started as a fluke; my mother had a friend who was an artist with a theater company, and I started going there after school because my mom knew I'd be safe.

I studied Shakespeare in college, but not theatrically, more in terms of literature, and then I kind of took a break from it. Now there's resurgence in my appreciation for him. It's amazing: there are so many book titles and song titles that come just from lines that he wrote. Julia Stiles amazeappreciationbook share on social

I love the sun and salt water, which is not good for your skin and therefore not good for your image. I'm terrible about protecting my skin as well. Julia Stiles goodimagelove Change image and share on social
I was gonna throw the first pitch at a Mets game, but there was a rain delay. So I'm waiting for it to stop, and the team's manager, Willie Randolph, comes by. Now he's already intimidating to begin with. But he comes over to me and says, 'If you screw this up, they will boo you.' And I said 'Thanks.' Julia Stiles beginboodelay share on social
