I believe that you can experience very profound moments of change in life...I never would have become an actress if I hadn't dropped out of high school. As a teenager, I was so driven to pursue my dreams that I made a decision to quit school at 17 so I could find my voice as an actress and eventually the profession embraced me.

Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back, I think I should have followed my instincts.

When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places - that was the most fun I ever had.

My whole life I've had the fear that I was going to be abandoned.

Anytime you put a movie out it's subject to such scrutiny and such criticism.

I see women in their 30s getting plastic surgery, pulling this up and tucking that back. It's like a slippery slope - once you start you pull one thing one way and then you think, 'Oh my God, I've got to do the other side.'

I didn't think it was possible at my age, honestly. They call it a geriatric pregnancy.
