Gemma Arterton has revealed that is going to be more picky with her role choices from now on as she feels that now has gained enough experience to be able to say no.
It's been a very successful year as Arterton has mixed and matched blockbuster roles with smaller movies. Clash of the Titans and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time were hits at the box office while Tamara Drewe was a critical hit back in September.
So now I have learned that the only power I have as an actress is the power of choice.
And Arterton admits that she is grateful for the chances that have been come her way this year and have enjoyed the experiences on those sets but now she is making more considered decisions on her movie roles.
Speaking to Metro Canada the actress said: "I left Rada three years ago and never expected I would have a film career - I always thought I would do theatre, and then it happened and I said, 'Yes, yes, yes' to every job without thinking about it.
"You are grateful that you're being considered and don't want to seem rude by turning them down. As a Brit, we tend to think like that.
"This year I have been able to think about what I want. I've always just wanted to act and do things that are interesting and exciting. So now I have learned that the only power I have as an actress is the power of choice.
"I'm taking my time and reading scripts thoroughly. It doesn't matter if it is big or small, or whether I have a large part or a small part and that is serving me well.
"And those films that I did like Tamara Drewe and The Disappearance of Alice Creed have actually transformed my career from here on.
"It's going to be much more eclectic, intriguing films rather than all out action movies."
The actress has already been linked to London Fields, the new movie from Michael Winterbottom, and Men In Black III. She is also expected to reprise the role of Io in a Clash of the Titans sequel.
