My nickname is Bondy. But not because of the Bond films - it was my surname a long time before I did those.

Something like 'Sex And The City' was insulting - women all clawing on to their youth when there's such ripe territory in honestly exploring women's lives as they get older.

I had absolutely no idea of the scale of its following and the globalness of 'Bond'.

Not a lot of people know this, but I'm very good at mathematics. When I was an angry teenager, I used to sit in my room and do quadratic equations to calm myself down.

I'm very shocked when I look at television and I see such an aggressive youth and image obsession in the representation of women on our screens.

The big thing that Moneypenny changed was the amount of charity work that I was able to be involved with.

I'm an appalling flyer. I get very tense, although I no longer weep uncontrollably for no reason - I just sob if there's turbulence.
