We all show facets, to your mother, or to your boyfriend, or a friend. You're always a bit different.

It's boring to be like everybody.

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

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.

For me, acting is like a therapy. I can express myself fully when I am acting and have blood in my veins. Even when I'm not working, I'm always living in my own world, imagining characters.

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 think it's very important to recognize talent in all facets of filmmaking. Making a movie is such a lengthy and intense experience, so it's wonderful to honour actors, directors, producers and all crew members who put so much hard work and passion into a project.
