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

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

Only do acting, if you don't want to do anything else. And know that it's a tough journey with a lot of rejection along the way. You have to have a lot of self-belief.

Mom's a writer, so I grew up reading scripts and I have a real respect for them and I know how much thought goes into creating a role, so I'm always interested to find out what was the thought process of the writer and how best can I convey it rather than trying to change it to suit myself.

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.

It's more instinctive to want revenge, but we are also capable of immense amounts of forgiveness and love and a compassion that extends even to those who have brutalized us.
