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

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

Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.

It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I've taken are those. Lot's of people put me in the dark category.

I love photo shoots where I can be like a pinup, not myself. Where I can be feminine, glamorous, dark not like in real life. I hate it when you go in and they want you to be 'natural,' to be yourself. I just hate it. I love having fun. When they ask you to smile, I hate it. Of course I smile in my real life, but to do it on cue, that's not spontaneous. I'd rather do something that's like a little movie, like a little story, rather than just me, I feel naked.

You always feel quite vulnerable when you're naked on a set. You feel quite silly, actually. And with the green screen around you, it's not that sexy. But, it looks stunning. It's art. It's not vulgar. It's not indecent. It's not realistic. It's beautiful, I think.

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.
