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

In a Tim Burton movie, you know it's going to be something unusual, or a bit mad. Something "other."

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

It's very flattering to be remembered as a Bond girl with brains and not just for looking good in a bikini. I was a fan of Sophie Marceau in 'The World Is Not Enough.' I think her performance was very underrated.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

I don't want to be a Hollywood star. I just want to do my job and enjoy it. My aim is to find my true identity and to remain true to myself.

For me, working out is nothing to do with looks. It's to let it all out - the stress, the self-consciousness - you think less; it makes you more centred.
