I never make suggestions. I really don't. I know a lot of actors who get a part and then they dissect it and they want to change it and they want to add stuff. I'm always amazed and so impressed by actors who do that.

I was out on the shooting range twice a week [for Skyfall]. I worked out with a personal trainer for two hours a day, five days a week. So, it was quite demanding!

People have very strong opinions about how their national icons should be played.

I've never been that person who wants a Rolls Royce or wants to live in a mansion or what have you.

I'm afraid that what most people don't know about me is that I'm very close to my brother and sister, who are 16 and 13, and I think I'm a pretty good big sister to them.

I love Sam Mendes. He's a fantastic director.

I live on the same street as my family, actually. I live across the road. I'm a real family person!
