Arterton hates being compared to other British actresses

'Quantum of Solace' star Gemma Arterton hates being constantly compared to other young British actresses because she has her own identity.

She said: "It's always funny. Especially with girls, people always want to put them in little brackets, which they belong in. I don't think I belong in the same bracket as Keira Knightley.

"I'm completely different, and from a very different background, and we even have different accents. It's just because I'm in 'Prince of Persia' by Jerry Bruckheimer and it's a period film - it's an obvious thing to say.

"I don't mind. I'm confident in my own ability to not mind being compared to people."

The British beauty recently landed the lead role of Catherine 'Cathy' Earnshaw in 'Wuthering Heights' after a string of Hollywood actresses pulled out.

She will star alongside 'Gossip Girl' actor Ed Westwick, who will portray Heathcliff.
