Gemma Arterton admits she was not careful in choosing roles

Gemma Arterton says she took up all sorts of roles in the beginning of her career but believes it has been a learning experience for her.
The 31-year-old actress says she is grateful to all those films that have helped her grow as an artiste, reported ES magazine.
"Coming from a working-class background - we were poor - then going to a drama school where they tell you, and rightly so, that you're probably not going to work most of the time, and suddenly being given all these opportunities when I left...
"For the first seven or eight years of my career, I was doing stuff because I thought I should, or I thought I was lucky to get that part. And I am grateful - it set me up. But it sits really badly with me when I make something I'm not proud of, or doesn't say what I want to say," says Arterton.
