I was brought up a very strict Catholic and I don't practice anymore or anything.

I trained in the theatre.

I love watching the Bond movies obviously and I grew up reading the books as a kid. I've always loved them because of that.

I think women assess time passage much better than men - because of their biological clocks - and they are much more realistic about measuring out time, whereas men tend to hang onto things. Women acknowledge the biology of their time, and dance through the beat of that drum...whereas men just drum.

Although I behave in a quite reserved way in my personal life, give me a stage and I'll be as flamboyant as I can.

I always felt it is not good if you feel like you would know how to do something. I've made mistakes of telling people: I know how to do this. And it should feel dangerous. That is the only way to stay alert, to keep the adrenaline running.

I like action movies, even though I think action movies are kind of derided now. But there is something extraordinary about action movies, which is absolutely linked to the invention of cinema and what cinema is and why we love it.
