Unfortunately, Poots is the name that I've been graced with for my life, but it's not short for anything.

I was very aware of Jeff Buckley. My brother actually bought me The Mamas And The Papas and Jeff Buckley for my birthday when I was in my early teens.

I'm not a huge fan of scary movies, but I love doing them because your character arc gets condensed, and everything is elevated, and so you kind of have this amazing opportunity to go in many different places.

I'm a big Johnny Cash girl. And I love singers like Laura Marling and Joanna Newsom.

Once you play a superhero, is there any way back again? Once you're a superhero, it's just crazy.

I do admit to being slightly in love with Christopher Walken.
