“When I worked with Keira Knightley in 'Never Let Me Go,' I learned how...” — Ella Purnell Quote

When I worked with Keira Knightley in 'Never Let Me Go,' I learned how to be classy and sophisticated.

I didn't really have idols growing up, but some of my friends were huge fangirls.

I used to think fashion was silly, and now I think it can be one of the purest expressions of art.

There's a joke in my family that I'm going to make a career out of playing other people's younger selves.

I don't think there was any point where I was like, 'I want to be an actor for the rest of my life.' The nice thing about being a kid is you don't have to make those decisions. Then all of a sudden, you blink, and you're 18.

I don't understand the rewarding of behavior that is less than classy. I don't get it.

When you want to win, and you want to go to work every day, you want to work with high character people; you want to work with classy people.

Every Motown act dressed classy, and we were clean-cut. Whenever you saw a Motown act, they were polished, and they knew how to treat people.

I dress in a sophisticated and classy way - I always dress in a way I know my mother wouldn't be embarrassed to see.

I change my style maybe every month. I'm, like, punk one month, ghetto fab the next, classy the next. I'm just young and finding out who I am.
