I don't remember my childhood very well at all, but my earliest memory is holding a man's hand as I was walking down the street at about 1ВЅ. I can still remember the shoes I was wearing, but I don't know who the man was or what the memory relates to.

I never ever thought that I would be in a Bond film, ever, which is weird because I grew up loving these amazing movies.

I can't impersonate someone. That is not what I do. I can only take someone's essence and create a character out of that.

Actors need steely determination. It's a tough profession with plenty of knocks along the way. You have to be very determined and never take 'no' for an answer.

You don't need to follow trends to be stylish.

I was really nervous, because I was certain it was going to be bigger than anything I'd ever done before. But I was relieved when I actually discovered that there was a family atmosphere on the set, with a brother-sister team, Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson running it all.

I would say only be an actress if you genuinely feel the calling, because it's a tough profession.
