Singing is my dream and, while it may have not been a commercial success, critically I was thrilled with the reception my first album got.

I was equally in love with singing and acting from an early age.

Last year my boyfriend gave me a painting - a very personal one. I really prefer personal gifts or ones made by someone for me. Except diamonds. That's the exception to the rule.

I like the theater enormously, but I truly love films - the whole bizarre, boring process that it can be.

In some movies you feel like you're a very small part of a huge machine. Whereas in the theater you can have a very small part, but you can still feel the weight and the gravity of it. Given the nature of theater, it's a more concentrated and quiet experience

As an English actress constantly playing Americans, you already had to step way out of your box in that way.

You do a James Bond film, you're being part of an anachronism, a tradition.
