Famous quotes by Julia Stiles:

"I hate the way you talk to me. And the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare I hate your big dumb combat boots. And the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick - it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh - even worse when you make me cry. I hate it that you're not around. And the fact that you didnt call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you - not even close, not even a little bit, not any at all."
"What I look for in a guy is passion and ambition and there's nothing sexier than intellect, so hopefully that would be reciprocated."
"I think that ultimately I just have to be myself. You know, I don't do anything that outlandish anyway."
"I like analyzing human behavior. It's complex. That's what keeps me going."
"My regular school didn't know what to do with me!"
"I took the role of Ophelia in Hamlet because she is so naive, loving, and innocent."
"I wear everything from hip-hop baggy pants to beautiful Armani dresses. I also like to mix vintage clothing with designer pieces."
"If I'm gong out to a club I like to have fun with it. I'll use blue or red sparkly eyeliners and glittery eye shadows. Then I'll put on some blue mascara. I focus on the eyes."
"I always feel like a goofy little kid."
"I'm going to Columbia University but I'm trying to keep that low-profile because I don't want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life."
"Even after such milestones as Kathryn Bigelow winning an Oscar, there still seem to be few women in leadership roles."
