I don't think I have the assets to play the more traditional Bond Girl.

When I have finished a job, done all the promotion, and it's been received well. Then I can allow myself the luxury of a break, and chilling out with my family and friends, and taking a nice break knowing I've done a good job.

I'm always interested in telling stories that have a message because I really do believe that film is so powerful.

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

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

It is great to be a part of big-budget movies, but it is harder to feel like you are contributing, in the sense that it has such big machinery behind it.

I don't why I was bullied. I was quite shy and skinny. Very nerdy, very bookwormish. I think I was just a target.
