I love photo shoots where I can be like a pinup, not myself. Where I can be feminine, glamorous, dark not like in real life. I hate it when you go in and they want you to be 'natural,' to be yourself. I just hate it. I love having fun. When they ask you to smile, I hate it. Of course I smile in my real life, but to do it on cue, that's not spontaneous. I'd rather do something that's like a little movie, like a little story, rather than just me, I feel naked.

Nipples aren't killing children. They should be more concerned about the wars that are happening. There's so much violence in the world. There are so many legitimate things to be upset about besides nipples.

I also liked Daniel Craig. He's not like any other Bond. So we'll see. In 10 years I might be cursed for doing it, but I'm very grateful for what it has done for me.
-
In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something.
-
There's this shop in New York I go to; it has bones and fossils and insects that are like works of art. I have a few on my wall.

When I'm at an event, I like to be an eccentric dresser. I will just keep wearing what I like.
-
I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.
-
I play the piano. I bought an upright piano that is actually electric, so I can practice my scales with headphones on and not make my neighbours' lives hell!
-
I was very studious, too much. I would never go out at weekends. I was very serious. You should have seen me in class - I was blushing and sweating every time the teacher asked me something.
-
We didn't have a lot of time to really prepare for a great chemistry. It was more instantaneous and instinctive. In the morning I went to Daniel Craig trailer and if I wanted to make some changes there was sort of a go between me and the director. It was good because Daniel is always like, "C'mon let's go for it. Let's fight for it!"

I didn't know about the Bond girl thing. I was approached very quickly, boom, boom, boom, it happened.

I think British men build up the idea of us French girls having some magic extra sex appeal so much, they lose their heads. I can't really understand the whole thing - but it makes me laugh. It's such a cliche to think all French girls are well dressed, elegant, sophisticated and sexy. Some are utter slobs, I promise you that.

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.
-
Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax.
-
We all show facets, to your mother, or to your boyfriend, or a friend. You're always a bit different.
-
All my jewelry has stories.
-
I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.
-
I have my own style and don't really follow fashion, but I like leggings. They're easy to wear and can go with anything.
-
My mother did movies from the New Wave, but I was quite shocked I didn't know much about that period. Bernado showed us film of the demonstrations of the time.
-
I'm not really keen on men wearing perfumes. It's just a bit wrong! I don't find it sexy. I prefer essential oils - patchouli is nice.
-
People think I'm so strong, but I'm very shy.
-
It's very flattering to be remembered as a Bond girl with brains and not just for looking good in a bikini. I was a fan of Sophie Marceau in 'The World Is Not Enough.' I think her performance was very underrated.
-
I love Ireland. I feel very at peace there. It's just magical and beautiful.

I was cast last minute for Casino Royale. They asked me to fly to Prague. I liked the script very much. I flew to Prague and did a bit of an audition. I was really focused and stressed out. And Daniel Craig was there. He was very, very blonde, like a Steve McQueen. He's moving a lot in real life. He's quite nervous. He was very lovely, very patient, and really connecting with me when we did the screen test.
