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

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.

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.

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 -
I can't just say yes to a movie. I have to be really passionate about it.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I'd go into the woods to look for the witches, the mythical beings.

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

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.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
Once I set my mind towards something, it's going to happen. By hook or by crook.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I swear like a sailor.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
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.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
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 -
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.

'The Witch' is feminist.
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.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I think we have a very Disneyfied, sterilized version of what an evil witch is nowadays.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
Acting is really a give-and-take; it's a dance.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I've been quite lucky in that the roles that I've been able to play are all kind of outsiders.

I think, probably, the place that I feel I most belong is a movie set.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I find it very difficult to compare any two projects because they're all such different beasts.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I don't really feel like I belong anywhere, which makes me belong everywhere.
Anya Taylor-Joy -
I never fit in as a kid. I always felt that there was something different about me.
