And, perhaps, few should commit to a firm life plan.

With an English lit degree and more than a dozen movie credits in hand, Stiles admitted to NME last year, “I wasn’t as clear about what I wanted to do. I just took roles because I thought it was interesting to have that life experience. ‘Oh, I’ll go to this part of the world or I’ll work with these people or this is kind of an interesting story.'”

As in, why not dip back into the Bourne franchise for three more films? “I got to travel to amazing parts of the world and work with Matt [Damon],” she reasoned to the L.A. Times.
