I do know that the key to anything good is feeling relaxed and free. That’s the main thing that you can offer yourself as an actor.

Anger is not an accepted thing for women. And, you know, I do get angry. I feel it’s a very honest emotion. 

imogenpotts:

Acting is about communicating what it is like to be human: the pain, the laughs, the misery, the joy. I suppose I am searching to have it all.

I never thought it wasn’t a feasible goal. I wanted to be an actress since I was really, really small. I knew I didn’t want to sing, and I didn’t want to do music, and words were the ways I wanted to express myself. And I don’t know, it’s pretty good, isn’t it? You can create characters and dress up and just extend the role-play you do as a kid and make it your job. It’s pretty exciting. I never thought about film, though. Film wasn’t in my head; I didn’t see it as feasible. I just didn’t know anything about it. I didn’t know where film came from when I was under 10. I just thought I’d be a stage actress. I always knew money would be tough, but that never frightened me. I grew up without any security — I obviously had lots of security because I have two parents who had a good marriage and stayed together and we had a creative household full of ideas, but there was never any financial security. So I knew I could have a good life without that.

I’m too intelligent to sit there reading crappy scripts. I’d rather retrain totally. I want to contribute to the world. Acting is bloody hard. There are lots of people who are not very good who get work. I just hope I’m not one of those.

Dominic [Cooper] is very funny, self-deprecating, and naughty. We’ve had some wild times. Last time I went out with him, we woke up together on a boat in the Thames, four in a bed. Clothed, but four in a bed nonetheless.

Actresses generally aren’t allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isn’t considered as versatile.

I know I’m at my best when I’m free and not concerned about appearance and all those things. But there are times when you feel insecure and you don’t want to go out for whatever reason – but it’s really a false voice, isn’t it?
