On collaborating with Lanthimos, Stone has said, "I love working with Yorgos. I love the material that he's drawn to and the worlds he wants to explore, and the characters that he's been generous enough to let me try my hand at. " In a 2025 interview with Vogue ahead of Bugonia’s release, she added, "The more challenging it gets, the more I like it, " and said, "If you’re not growing or pushing yourself to different places—and I feel it’s the same for most people in almost any job—you get stagnant. "
Career highlights and recent credits
Stone has won two Academy Awards: first for her role in La La Land and a second for 2023’s Poor Things, which is also a Lanthimos film.

Family life and personal remarks shared in 2025
Stone has spoken about welcoming her daughter, Louise Jean, with husband Dave McCary in 2021. She told Vogue, "There’s nothing I feel luckier about, " and added, "She’s the greatest gift of my life, for sure. " She continued, "It’s streamlined everything. It’s a clichéd thing to say, but it changes everything. And simplifies everything... I do think it unlocks different things. I don’t know if it’s specifically that, but I feel everything I could possibly feel, because everything has exploded. "
