"I'm looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do"

In this quote, actress Gemma Arterton is revealing her desire to work with people who she has a good relationship with and who treat her with respect. She has had negative experiences in the past where she was objectified and not valued for her talent and effort. This has actually led her to nearly ignore significant movie jobs since she prioritizes her own well-being and joy over popularity and success. Arterton wishes to enjoy the work she does and not be minimized to just a physical item. This quote highlights the significance of shared respect and positive working relationships in the entertainment industry.
