Action movies live and die by the story that you're trying to tell. It's hard. It's very difficult to do an action movie that stays engaging.

Sexiness, particularly in movies, is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's, it's, I don't know, but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy, then it's not.

A man is still likely to earn more money than a woman, even one doing the same job. You have a far better chance of entering political office or becoming a company director... Women are responsible for two thirds of the work done worldwide, yet earn only 10% of the total income and own 1% of the property... So, are we equals? Until the answer is yes, we must never stop asking.

Revenge doesn't stop.

The last thing on earth I wanted was to make a Bond movie.

As far as I'm concerned, the sexiness, the sex symbol, it's not a consideration.

There's a conscious decision to everything I do.
