I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I rehearsed it a lot underwater with a mouthpiece for Casino Royale and not freaking out, because you can't see a thing. It's like being in a really bad nightmare. I've never seen somebody drown, but I really swallowed water. It was like choreography. It was very emotional. I was crying underwater at one point.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

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.

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

I've never been very good talking about myself.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.
