Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.

I'll need my whole lifetime to polish my craft.

I struggle to watch myself in any scene, to be honest. What's done is done. I wish I was able to watch myself, as it would really help me develop as an actor. But I'm not brave enough. It's a difficult thing to do - looking at yourself as this utterly different person on a screen.

It's very flattering to be remembered as a Bond girl with brains and not just for looking good in a bikini. I was a fan of Sophie Marceau in 'The World Is Not Enough.' I think her performance was very underrated.

Traditional British desserts with lots of custard are my biggest weakness - I particularly love the puds at St. John restaurant in East London.

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

When I'm at an event, I like to be an eccentric dresser. I will just keep wearing what I like.
