When people say 'You're so beautiful' it makes me want to kill myself! As an actress you want to be seen for what you do, for the characters you can play, otherwise I'd be a model

I didn't know about the Bond girl thing. I was approached very quickly, boom, boom, boom, it happened.

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

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

I'm a dark blonde, yes. I dyed my hair blue, then black, when I was 14. I thought the colour was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don't think I'd ever change back unless it was for a film.

I play the piano. I bought an upright piano that is actually electric, so I can practice my scales with headphones on and not make my neighbours' lives hell!

It's boring to be like everybody.
