“There is more for women in terms of character roles now. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith have constantly changed over the years and challenged themselves with different roles. That's impressive.”
“I do admit to being slightly in love with Christopher Walken.”
“I'm lucky in that I have close friends and family and my agent to advise me.”
“You can tell when someone is putting on a role. If someone really believes in what they're saying, it's quite hard to find cracks.”
“I'd say a good couple of my closest male friends are directors.”
“You collect people to take with you. Some people change, other people don't... it's wonderful because I've met some incredible friends.”
“Unfortunately, Poots is the name that I've been graced with for my life, but it's not short for anything - apart from Imogen Poots.”
“You have to think about what you want to do. There is nothing to say that you should study from the age of 20 to 23. I learnt more on a film set at 17 than in the classroom.”
“I was very aware of Jeff Buckley. My brother actually bought me The Mamas And The Papas and Jeff Buckley for my birthday when I was in my early teens.”
“There's a lot of interviews now where nobody seems to talk about anything. Like it's illegal. But it can be fun if you stay involved. Like most conversations.”

“You've got these big studio films and these tiny independent films now. It's very much either/or. With the independent films, it's always a beautiful risk - it might never be seen. With the studio films, you're conforming to the formula of what's always been in place.”
“If I'm really honest, I'm not a huge fan of scary films.”
