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

There are ways of doing stunts without me. I get no pleasure putting my life in jeopardy just to get the shot. Life is too short for that nonsense.

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.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

England understands good Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine; in France, we just get French.

I love Ireland. I feel very at peace there. It's just magical and beautiful.

I also liked Daniel Craig. He's not like any other Bond. So we'll see. In 10 years I might be cursed for doing it, but I'm very grateful for what it has done for me.
