A biography for Aimee Lou Woodhasn’t been written yet.
“I am quite a perfectionist. So there's a lot of turmoil that goes on because when I'm acting my main desire and want is to just be in the story, like I just wanna be in the story.”
“I was the kid at school who just wanted to put badges on everything and wear purple tights. I loved all of the 80s films like 'Pretty In Pink' and 'The Breakfast Club' and I just wanted to look exactly like those kids.”
“I always know if I've had a particularly people please-y time. Suddenly, I'm not eating.”
“I think what we wear matters because it's just all about how we feel.”
“I often wear quite strange combinations. I do believe though, that if you own whatever you've got on, it'll look cool! Well, I hope so anyway.”
“I don't want to be involved in shallow, frivolous, superficial stories.”
“I find it hard when I'm in relationships to maintain my sense of who I am.”
“There are things that happen to us in our lives that just stay with us forever. And they change us, and it's really emotional playing someone who is going through such tectonic shifts within herself.”
“I think most women have been publicly harassed or assaulted by a man. Unfortunately, it is the norm.”
“I can get so trapped in my head!”
“People actually still need to be challenged and systems need to be dismantled that are literally poison. I think I find because of my friends and the world that I'm in, I forget that and then it's like, 'No, that is still rife.'”
“I love practical, comfy clothes, so I like an all-in-one outfit - a jumpsuit or dungarees - because there's no effort involved.”
“Doing 'Sex Education,' my character Aimee is super funny and super silly, but at her core, she's fiercely loyal and kind. Playing a part like that entered people's psyche, so they assume I'm that person.”
“I think that any way that we are able to express ourselves as people is valuable and valid - whether it is through art or music or through fashion.”
“I can be taken away from myself quite easily, I kind of start betraying myself and compromising my integrity, to keep someone else happy. That's why it's really important for me to have time alone.”
“I love the 80s and the 60s. The 60s would have been my era.”
“I used to search that frantically, 'actresses with overbites,' 'actresses with gap teeth.' Thinking, because I don't see them anywhere, am I really going to pursue a career in acting before I get a bloody Invisalign?”
“I don't think you should ever put yourself through heartache or stress because you think it's going to make you a better actor.”
“I thought I was too weird to be on TV, I don't look like people who are on TV.”
“Sex Ed' was the first TV show I'd ever done. Coming to terms with the camera... It took a little while.”
