I like to believe that we all pray to the same god.

I have many different sides; I can be the life and soul of the party - or a wallflower.

Powerful women are the most interesting to play.

I cry at random things, like a flower, or someone giving me a present, or my sister giving me a nice hug.

In some ways, except that in that movie [Skyfall] I was mostly screaming and running away from the bad guys, whereas in this one I'm generally jumping into the action and fighting with them. So, yeah, it was somewhat similar, but also very different.

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.

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