I've worked on jobs where there are almost 200 people on set... you always make an effort to have a relationship but you can't really when there's 200.

I think when you write an enigmatic character into a film, you have to have real confidence that the audience are going to go with it.

It was great and I had fun that day even though I was so sort of pleased when it was over to get through it. I didn't realize at the time that usually they screen test a number of actresses for the part, but they only tested me. So I think they knew then they wanted me to do it, and I wish they told me because I wouldn't have been so nervous. That was quite funny.

When I go home, everyone's very proud. I get recognized the most when I go back to my hometown, but it's in a really sweet way. They're just very proud and supportive.

I think my favorite is Honor Blackman because she is classy and she is British. With Bond, I love how British it is actually. She is classy and clever and smart and sharp.

I am terrible at video games and I am really competitive. And if I am not the best at something, I go absolutely crazy!

I'm quite a physical person and I gesticulate a lot, which can be a problem when you're in Hollywood and they do everything in a minimalist way.
