I started acting when I was seven. And I went to a local drama school which is very well-known in London. Because of that, I started getting jobs, and I worked all the time as a child, pretty much non-stop.

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'm not the greatest driver. I don't know if I'll ever master the art.

I really like Roland Moret, Alexander McQueen and Marios Schwab, a young British designer.

Getting to travel around the world and go to glamorous locations is certainly not what I had as a kid.

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 just feel incredibly lucky. I went to drama school and about 28 of us graduated. I graduated from drama school in 2000, and I would say about two of us are working and able to make a living out of it. It is a tough profession. To have the kind of success I have had is really amazing, and I am incredibly grateful.
