Pugh has been candid about her refusal to fit into stereotypes, saying: 'I'm not nasty — I hope people think I'm kind. But there are fine lines women have to stay within, otherwise they are called a diva, demanding, problematic.'
With over a decade in the industry, Pugh has witnessed the scrutiny women face, recalling how Keira Knightley was criticized for her appearance, and vowing to 'help young women coming into this industry by making conversations happen where they weren't before.'
