I'm absolutely loving being part of Bondiana, and that not only am I a Bond girl, but I get to be an agent as well.

What interests Sam Mendes are characters and relationships, and he was a genius at giving you the freedom to create the type of character you want, and also to explore and have fun with your fellow actors. For him, characters and relationships are really the heartbeat of the film, and then the action is the backdrop. By developing the characters, he makes you care that much more about the action and going on a journey with the characters.

As a society we should be encouraging people out of the debt-culture mindset, not promoting it.

I always find filming stressful. I get very caught up thinking about my character - 'Am I doing it right? Should it be done this way?'

When I started out in the profession, it was definitely about proving that I was worthy, but after achieving a certain amount of success, I realized I didn't have to prove anything to anybody.

I usually look in my eyes to tell the truth of how I'm feeling that day.

To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
