I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion. Julia Stiles conventioncreativefashion Change image and share on social
I always thought it would be really fun to play a villain. I feel like I haven't done that yet. Not an anti-hero, not someone who is flawed, but somebody who is just straight-up bad. Julia Stiles antibadfeel Change image and share on social
The platform doesn't really matter to me, whether it's stage or theatre or even a web series.

It would probably help my career if I lived in L.A., but I think it would be all-consuming. New York has its own little rat race going on, too.

It's actually really great to be a student and an actor, because I get to do this job that I love, then just when I think my head might explode, I get to go to school where they don't really care about what magazine cover I'm on. Julia Stiles actorcarecover share on social
I tend to shut myself off from people. It's gotten harder and harder for me to meet new people. It takes a lot of effort to open up to them and spend time with them. Julia Stiles efforthardlot Change image and share on social
It actually makes perfect sense why women in Hollywood get so skinny: because it's a way of controlling how people see you. Julia Stiles controlhollywoodmake Change image and share on social
