Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best Pollyanna McIntosh Quotes. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
I’ve always had far too much emotion to be Scottish.
2
It’s a pretty weird feeling when a wolf is scared of you.

It’s funny that for women in horror, we have to use the term scream queen, because there is no term for a villain in horror who is female and powerful.
14
I was acting before I was modelling, when I was very young, doing the Edinburgh Festival and that sort of stuff.
15
