“It’s just everything I’ve ever known,”
“Because of distance, I had never known anything to fall apart.”

She added:

“I find work to be my happy place, in a way. Because it’s all I’ve ever known: packing up a bag and moving on.

“That restlessness that’s inherent in you is very addictive. And I suppose now I’m supposed to slow down and set up a farm or something.

But I’m not ready to do that. I want to keep exploring the world.”

Poots first appeared on-screen in a Casualty episode and played a non-speaking role in V for Vendetta, but she was largely unknown when Juan Carlos Fresnadillo cast her in 28 Weeks later, at the age of 17. Since then she’s appeared in movies like Cracks, Centurion, and Fright Night’s 2011 remake. Although Poots has never formally trained as an actress, according to Giles Hattersley, she has developed her acting skills through a practical apprenticeship that may have served her well, since she is “compellingly natural” in front of the camera. Poots played the tempestuous fresh faced violinist Alexandra Gelbart in A Late Quartet in 2012, opposite Catherine Keener and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
