I know what I like in other actors: truth. That's the best. It makes you say, 'OK, I'll go with you on this.'

I've always loved to dress up a bit and show off.

I've never really had a desire to do Shakespeare. For me, it's just too many lines.

I've got to be high class... Which is sad, because I like bars.

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.

It's a huge challenge, a huge responsibility. Bond is a huge iconic figure in movie history. These opportunities don't come along very often so I thought, 'Why not?'

Having a sense of humour is really key. You have to have a sense of humour with these things and I've just tried to remain who I am. My life has changed. It's changed in the fact that I don't have the freedoms I did before, but I've also got a huge amount of other freedoms that came along with it.
