I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.

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.

When I watch myself in movies I go, 'My God.'

My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.

It's a surreal thing because you are there and made up and dressed up as if you're making the film. You do the scene, which is going to be in the film, and I met him [Daniel Craig] and I'm working with the director, and so it is different to just a normal audition.

I'm kind of a chatty person and the props guys would have to handcuff me and tie me up and sometimes I'd just be chatting and they'd just pop it back in... like: "OK now, shut up!"

My mom used to sell Avon when my mom was a kid for about three years, and so it was like the first make up I saw. And when I first found out about makeup it was Avon makeup and I remember putting my mom's red lipstick on my cheeks and thinking that is where it went, and that was Avon. So it's weird how your life turns out and how things come round, and it is brilliant.
