I never had any boyhood ambitions.

Every movie I get involved with I get involved in as big a level as I possibly can, but this has been a very much more personal journey for me, so bringing it here tonight there's a sense of relief, there's a sense of just amazement that got here... because it's been a struggle. But this is a good way to launch it and there couldn't be a better way of celebrating this movie than bringing it to the West End.

My mother gave me a real kick toward cooking, which was that if I wanted to eat, I'd better know how to do it myself.

It's not like I go out there to be a sex symbol. I mean, it's nice of course - but embarrassing.

I don't say: 'can't do that', 'won't do that'. I've never thought in that way about work.

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.

There's a passion about this because people take it very close to their hearts and they have grown up with James Bond - and so have I. But I was being criticized before I had presented anything, so it was name calling.
