I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

It's boring to be like everybody.

At drama school, I always picked the really evil roles. It's a great way to deal with your everyday emotions.

Life's too short to wear high heels.

I love fashion from the 1930s and '40s - shoulder pads, high waists, things with structure. That is classy for me. Andrea Riseborough from the Madonna movie 'W.E.' had an amazing wardrobe.

The good thing about this Casino Royale thing, that I hope and pray, is that I'll have more opportunities. That roles will come up to me rather than going to the auditions. But I still have a lot of things to prove. I haven't, I think, shown all my talent.

There are not many good roles for women.
