My agent called me and said, "You have an audition for James Bond. They're looking for the girl." And I told him, "Listen, it's all in English. I'm not an actress. I'm not going to go." He thought I was kidding with him.

I always tell myself that it is very, very important for me to be a good role model for Alma, my daughter.

In real life I'm the type of girl who doesn't take herself too seriously. I'm very serious when it comes to work, but I like to make jokes and have a good laugh and make fun of myself.

Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.

When you play a character, you bring yourself into the character. You get a chance to shine and show your translation for the character and her state of mind.

I didn't want to do the obvious role that you see in Hollywood most of the time, which is the heartbroken girl who's waiting to be rescued by the guy, blah, blah, blah. I wanted to do something different.

I just keep active - everything thats challenging me, everything that I feel like doing.
