I feel sick if I have to do something for the money. I can't breathe. I'm not proud of myself.

I didn't want to do 'Casino Royale' when they told me to audition. I said no. Then they sent me the script, and I thought it was actually very interesting - and I had no other work at the time.

For me, working out is nothing to do with looks. It's to let it all out - the stress, the self-consciousness - you think less; it makes you more centred.

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

Seeing what the film becomes, out of your hands - you never know, you know? I'm always rather anxious. It's not like in theater when you are more in control. You're more - not a puppet, but you don't control it. You don't own it.

In this business actors who have Botox or surgery make you very aware of age. It's awful.

Towards the end of 'Dark Shadows,' the sets are cracking and bleeding, but so is Angelique. The fact that she breaks apart physically as well as mentally lends an added dimension, and I just loved playing that.
