In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something.

If I can avoid doing stunts, I will. I don't want to die just for a movie. It's not worth it.

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

I was cast last minute for Casino Royale. They asked me to fly to Prague. I liked the script very much. I flew to Prague and did a bit of an audition. I was really focused and stressed out. And Daniel Craig was there. He was very, very blonde, like a Steve McQueen. He's moving a lot in real life. He's quite nervous. He was very lovely, very patient, and really connecting with me when we did the screen test.

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

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.
