Stiles began building her net worth by become an actress at the age of 11 – then she appeared with the LaMaMa Theatre Company, but her first role in a movie was a little later, in 1996. Then she had a small role in the movie “I Love You, I Love You Not” written by Wendy Kesselman. Though the role was without a single word, Julia didn’t give up and tried to rise to fame again and again. The first serious investment in Julia’s net worth was made in 1999, when the movie “10 Things I Hate About You” appeared on screens. In it Julia played Kat Stratford, and the movie gained huge popularity and was even nominated for Teen Choice Awards as the best breakout performance and the sexiest love scene. Furthermore, this movie even won an MTV Movie Award as the best female breakthrough performance. This, of course, increased Julia Stiles’s net worth incredibly.

[on a scene that stands out most when looking back on her time on Dexter (2006)] In the kill room, when she first gets to put the knife in. That was really special. There was also a nice moment of collaboration where the set designers had put up pictures of all the other victims on the wall, and I remember saying to the director that I felt like it was important that Lumen acknowledge the other girls and say that it was for them, too. We did a separate shot of that, and it ended up in the final edit, which I was really pleased about. It's a great example of how collaborative the show is and what a nice environment it is to work in.

[on the most challenging aspect of playing Lumen in Dexter (2006)] - I never think of myself as an actor who takes work home with them, but I was surprised, especially toward the end of the season -- around episode 10 -- when some of the details of what Lumen had experienced became really harrowing, and I started to realize that it was affecting me outside of work. One scene in particular, in episode 10, when the detectives have found DVDs showing what has happened to the victims -- it was really dark. It made it more difficult for me to sleep.

I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one. [...] There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.

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.'

I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting.
