It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.

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.

Here's the thing - you can't be careful about what you pick because what looks like on paper is going to be a great script has often turned out to be a disaster, so there's no way to know what's going to work or to pick the right thing.

If you really want to be competitive in today's market you have to be in movies that make money.

People win 'Oscars', and then it seems like they fall off the planet. And that's partly because a huge expectation walks in the room and sits right down on top of your head.

I'm learning to accept the lack of privacy as the real downer in my profession.

I have to live for me. I have to do what I need to do for me, and I have stopped concerning myself with what people say.
