Gemma Arterton Quotes

I think people often try to find through sex things that are much easier to find in other ways.

Find your passion and follow it. You wont find that passion in things or money. Your passion must come from what fuels you from the inside. It will be grounded in the relationships you have with people and what they think of you when your time comes.

I was single long enough, and when I was, it wasn't about putting notches in the bedpost.

Why go around dating random girls and having terrible sex when you can be with someone you really like?

I think the whole concept of dating is deeply flawed, so maybe it's a good thing to be undateable. There's a difference between being unlovable and undateable.

If I ever have sex with someone I might be able to develop a sense of humor.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

When I'm not in a relationship, I shave one leg. That way, when I sleep, it feels like I'm with a woman.

When I think about sex it makes me realise how alone I feel.

Civilized people cannot fully satisfy their sexual instinct without love.

But obviously, things have changed in many ways since the '50s, when the show is started, in terms of sexuality, and how much access we have to images of it and information about it. But, the same problems always apply. It doesn't matter whether we know a lot more about sex now or if there's a lot more access to it. The same problems of intimacy, of dealing with other people, of connecting and being vulnerable with other people, which is what the show is ultimately about, still applies now, I think.

If you have no intention of loving or being loved, the whole journey is pointless.

What I discovered was is that it's rare to find a person that you feel very intimate with, and you can sleep with lots of people and not find what you're looking for.

I don't like sleeping with people I really love. I don't want to sleep with them because sex cannot last, but affection can last forever.

You have to have something in your life that's more important than the work. People don't really like to admit that. I think that you have to find something else. I don't know what it is. Is it yoga or God or politics? For me it's just family.

I'm single right now and I've chosen to be single because I don't have the time to get to know anybody. So it's okay not to have sex, it's okay to get to know people. I'm celibate, celibacy's fine.

Getting love is a very small experience. It is the experience of beggar.

I don't know that sex always has to have feelings, but I think that friendship always does.

Sex without love is like a goddamn business transaction. And sometimes both parties feel as if they got a good deal, but that doesn't make it any less so.

Back then I confused passions and orgasms with love. It look me years to realize the two weren't synonymous.

You sleep with people all the time that you hate.

I couldn't care less about sex unless I meet someone who I think is wonderful.

We treat sex so casually and use it for everything but what it is-which is ultimately making another human being with thoughts and feelings and rights.

Sex is a part of love. You shouldn't go around doing it unless you are in love.

At any age, we struggle with intimacy. When you're a kid, you think, 'I won't have that problem. I'll have sex whenever I want when I'm a grown-up!' And then, somehow, it doesn't quite turn out that way, and it's so surprising to people that connection remains so challenging even when you're married.
