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 have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.

Lots of shy people dress a bit too much. It's just kind of an armour. People say the same thing about me.

People think I'm so strong, but I'm very shy.

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

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

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.
