I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.

He [Daniel Craig] is mysterious, and I think that that's the thing Bond has to exude, that kind of mysterious edge. He draws you in, but he is also incredibly cool, you know, James Bond is cool and sharp and Daniel has that to a tee, and he's also got the rawness and an edginess to him that is slightly unhinged, and you're not sure what is going on there, and I think that is really intriguing and interesting. It is a lot weightier and gritty, and he has that.

I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.

I've never understood people that sleep around. I think there's something very lacking in your life when you do, not to be judgmental.

I don't go out and go to parties and do all of that.

Sometimes, I feel that if you're a strong, independent woman it scares people away, but actually it does the opposite.

I was born with lots of deformities.
