Make-up is an extension of your clothes.

I love Africa.

I’m absolutely loving being part of Bondiana, and that not only am I a Bond girl, but I get to be an agent as well.

I never make suggestions. I really don’t. I know a lot of actors who get a part and then they dissect it and they want to change it and they want to add stuff. I’m always amazed and so impressed by actors who do that.

I would say only be an actress if you genuinely feel the calling, because it’s a tough profession.

Kids should be naughty and go through that rebellious phase I didn’t have.

Hollywood ‘friends’ are only after one thing. They’re looking out for the next big thing, and they don’t want to miss out on you just in case.

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

When I started out in the profession, it was definitely about proving that I was worthy, but after achieving a certain amount of success, I realized I didn’t have to prove anything to anybody.

If you educate children, then they are capable of so much – you empower them, you give them choices, and you enable them to create the lives that they dream for themselves.
