Zitat des Tages von Gemma Arterton:
It's difficult for a young girl like me. Because there's a certain time for young actresses, which is like a really juicy period when all the parts are love interests and young heroines. Of course, there's always work for men whatever age they are.
I was born with six fingers on each hand.
Music is my biggest passion aside from anything else.
I don't want to be about the way I look - my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.
I've never been to the opera; I've only seen opera on DVD.
I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.
It's interesting for me to always make myself look very different.
I probably should get a bit more star-struck but I never do.
I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.
When I watch myself in movies I go, 'My God.'
I'm looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.
I wouldn't change a thing in my own life, but I'd like to go back in time anyway though, just to some sort of eras that I wish I'd lived in - like the '60s. I'd love to have been in London in the '60s, partying away.
I don't know why it's still a taboo to be a feminist.
I'm always surprised at what I actually end up doing because I don't have a strategy or a game plan, especially now that I'm making my own choices.
It's such a male-dominated industry. You can be a feminist, it's just difficult because it sometimes comes back at you.
I was quite naughty at school.
Especially with girls, people always want to put them in little brackets.
The industry is quite chauvinistic generally. Expectations of women, girls, what they should look like, how they should be, what they should say, what they should wear, how their hair should be, what colour their skin should be.
My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.
I don't go out and go to parties and do all of that.
I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!
I've done about four deaths in films now, and I think it's quite good because then it's sort of a memorable moment in the film.
I was born with lots of deformities.
I love strange things; my favorite movies are weird, eclectic, and intriguing.
I'm always listening to music; I can't live without it.
My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I'm very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I'd save it for like five months. And then I'd spend it on Christmas presents. I'd save up like eight pounds. It's nothing, but we did that.
My family was never cultural in that we never went to see plays, my mum wasn't very into films.
I was in lots of dodgy bands growing up and I always fancied myself in a band. But, you know, I was rubbish at writing music. So maybe one day I'll play a rock star, or punk rocker.
