Sometimes nudity is gratuitous. We just live in a society where everything goes.

My husband was actually very keen that I would become a Bond girl.

Everything, every part that you approach has to be somehow rooted in yourself. You have to somehow root everything so that it's not just words coming out of you.

I don't think anybody can be told how to act. I think you can give advice. But you have to find your own way through it.

The more I do, the more frightened I get. But that is essential. Otherwise why would I go on doing it?

I'm always fearful. … Fear generates in you a huge energy. You can use it. When I feel that mounting fear, I think, 'Oh, yes, there it is!' It's like petrol.

I just feel incredibly lucky to be employed when there are so many actors and actresses who are not employed. That's why, you know, I sometimes feel desperate, in case I'm not going to be cast again.
