“I was about 14 when I started with a theater group; it was like a stage group on…” — Imogen Poots

I generally try and have great days, because I feel very lucky to be doing what I'm doing.

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.

I'd say a good couple of my closest male friends are directors.

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.
