About Gemma Arterton: Gemma Christina Arterton is an English actress.
Especially with girls, people always want to put them in little brackets.
I was quite naughty at school.
I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.
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.
You can't connect with something you're not passionate about.
I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.
I'm always listening to music; I can't live without it.
Music is my biggest passion aside from anything else.
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.
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.
