It's true that I'm drawn to unusual stories. Normal roles don't really attract me.

I wear no makeup in real life. I'm very simple. That may be why I go over the top for the red carpet. But otherwise, I'm very plain. I should make more of an effort, actually.

I hope I will not be typecast as a Bond girl for the rest of my life. I'm very proud of being a part of the Bond family, but I don't want to be the sexy girl forever. I'm not meaning to complain, but I just want to be taken seriously.

I think the work is the same in Indie films or blockbuster. It's just a difference when you do all the publicity. It's like another job. I remember the first time I did The Dreamers. I went to Venice; quite a good amount of publicity, a lot of round-tables and TV. I was just not expecting that. I thought I was going to visit Venice, but actually no.

I feel like I'm 1,000. I don't feel I'm young enough a lot of the time.

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

A lot of the films now are more focused on the visuals than on the actors. I think all directors should go to drama school.
