My family was never cultural in that we never went to see plays, my mum wasn't very into films.

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

The films that I go to see at the cinema are not Hollywood blockbusters particularly. I've not got anything against them... I'm in them! But I don't go and spend my money on them.

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.

I was quite naughty at school.

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 was born with lots of deformities.
