Music is my biggest passion aside from anything else.
I wouldn’t change a thing in my own life, but I’d like to go back in time anyway though, just to some sort of eras that I wish I’d lived in – like the ’60s. I’d love to have been in London in the ’60s, partying away.
I was quite naughty at school.
I’ve nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don’t want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.
I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It’s softened up a bit.
Especially with girls, people always want to put them in little brackets.
My mother, she had a very good attitude toward money. I’m very grateful for the fact that we had to learn to save. I used to get like 50 pence a week, and I’d save it for like five months. And then I’d spend it on Christmas presents. I’d save up like eight pounds. It’s nothing, but we did that.
I don’t go out and go to parties and do all of that.
I always thought I was going to end up an old spinster, with my cats and fur coats.
I probably should get a bit more star-struck but I never do.
I don’t know why it’s still a taboo to be a feminist.
I was born with six fingers on each hand.
I think my favorite is Honor Blackman because she is classy and she is British. With Bond, I love how British it is actually. She is classy and clever and smart and sharp.
I was born with lots of deformities.
Never in my short career, I’ve never had that experience where I wasn’t sure if I was acting or if it was real.
My family are very down-to-earth people. We are not showbizzy at all.
I have this attitude to life that is not to take anything too seriously and not worry about anything, and when I met him I wasn’t too nervous and I was being myself.
I think when you write an enigmatic character into a film, you have to have real confidence that the audience are going to go with it.
I’m quite a physical person and I gesticulate a lot, which can be a problem when you’re in Hollywood and they do everything in a minimalist way...
There was one day where I had to be hysterical all day, then of course it’s going to affect you. You’re going to go home and feel drained, or feel like you need to let off steam.
Sometimes, I feel that if you’re a strong, independent woman it scares people away, but actually it does the opposite.
