I think, probably, the place that I feel I most belong is a movie set. It doesn't matter where it is in the world or who I'm making the movie with; that's the closest thing that I've got to a sense of placement. So I guess acting was a way of finding a home, if that makes sense.

Men Home World

I don't really feel like I belong anywhere, which makes me belong everywhere.

Which Where Very

I did buy an electric guitar while shooting 'Split.'

Once I set my mind towards something, it's going to happen. By hook or by crook.

War Towards Toward

I have always believed in magic. I used to run into the woods as a little kid looking for witches. But I'm not superstitious, because I m not afraid of it. I see it as something really beautiful, and I wouldn't want to live in a world without magic.

My first school play was 'Perkin and the Pastry Cook' that my primary school put on, and I played a boy, and it was so much fun, and I'd love to play a boy again. I think that would be great.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Love Great Would

I think I just really understand what it is to feel like you don't fit in, within your society, within your world, within your family, within whatever. I've always felt like an odd duck so I really understood that.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Society Family Your

My goal is to make a movie that no one would sort of expect me to make.

I got scouted for modeling, and it was really scary - I was walking my dog wearing heels for the first time ever because I had a party to go to the day after, and I wanted to practice, and this black car kind of started following me, so I, being dramatic, picked up the dog and started to run.

Time Car Art

It is kind of bizarre, but at the same time, I feel like anyone that gets into movies didn't fit into the real world, and so we made our own world.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Time Movies World

I can't just say yes to a movie. I have to be really passionate about it.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Yes Us T

I can't do something that I would not throw myself under a bus for.

Movies were my first love.

'The Witch' is feminist.

I know it sounds really precious and pretentious, but I can't actually remember deciding to want to be an actor. I just knew that I had too many feelings and I had to kind of get them out in some way.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Way Want Us

To me, it always comes down to character and script and then director. If a character belongs to me, it's mine. We belong to each other, and I feel a fierce need to tell that story, and it just so happens that a lot of these characters have been residing in pretty dark worlds.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I just want to see what life's going to throw my way. So far, it's been very unexpected. I'm kinda on a roller coaster and want to enjoy that.

Life Way Want

It doesn't matter where it is in the world or who I'm making the movie with; that's the closest thing that I've got to a sense of placement.

I'd go into the woods to look for the witches, the mythical beings.

Woods Wood Woo

I love what I do so much, and I have a very acute understanding of how I work as a person, so if I'm afraid, I shut down and can't do anything. If I'm overwhelmed, I shut down and can't do anything.

Work Love Very

I swear like a sailor.

I don't know what kind of career I want to forge for myself. But I want it to be one where I love the work that I've done. And I like to think that I have good instincts.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Even the strongest bonds, flesh and blood, they can just evaporate in a second given the right conditions.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I got scouted when I was 16, almost 17, and it was something that had never entered my thoughts. I never thought I could be a model. I was such a tomboy growing up, and I've never really been into makeup or anything like that, so it was really surprising, but I definitely saw it as an in for acting.

Acting is really a give-and-take; it's a dance.

Anya Taylor-Joy

It was very difficult to leave Argentina when I was kid, so I only spoke Spanish for the first six years of my life.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I love films. It's really funny, actually. Like, I see a lot of smaller movies. But a lot of these big, epic films that everyone's like, 'You have to see,' I haven't watched yet.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I've been quite lucky in that the roles that I've been able to play are all kind of outsiders. And, you know, I belong to so many places and belong to none of them at the same time, so there's this sense of displacement - I very much understand what it is to not fit in or belong somewhere.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I'm a hugger and a lover and a dancer!

Anya Taylor-Joy

I need specifically love, affection, people to touch me all the time. Because otherwise, I don't really - I don't cope very well. On 'Morgan,' everything is shot from the other side of the glass, so I was alone in a soundproof room watching everybody but being completely separate from whatever was going on.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I just want to work with wonderful people.

I don't actually watch that much TV, but I was obsessed with 'Dawson's Creek' growing up. And 'Freaks and Geeks.' And '8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.'

Anya Taylor-Joy

I refused to learn English for two years when we moved to London, hoping to send my family back home. It was tough, but at the same time, it has given me a sense of displacement that actually really suits the life that I'm living now.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I'm a surprisingly good rapper.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I don't lie very well!

Anya Taylor-Joy

I never fit in as a kid. I always felt that there was something different about me.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I love the theater, I'd love to work in theater at some point, but I grew up with movies being something that I just clung to.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I find it very difficult to compare any two projects because they're all such different beasts.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I have an active imagination.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I'd love to work with the Coen brothers. And Steven Spielberg. 'E.T.' was big for me.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I've been very lucky with the roles that I've played in that they were wonderful roles for women. They're incredible, flawed characters that I really gravitate toward. I just never want anybody to be able to put me in a box.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I think we have a very Disneyfied, sterilized version of what an evil witch is nowadays.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Modeling had never entered my consciousness. I was always like, 'I'm going to act.' But I thought, 'If this can help me with that, great.'

Anya Taylor-Joy

I got scouted for modeling on the street. I'm such a tomboy - still am. I just never thought about modeling before, but I thought, 'Ooh, interesting, similar world, perhaps it's a way into something.' Then, I was on my third photo shoot ever, and Adam Leech from 'Downtown Abbey' saw me reading poetry and asked me to recite some.
