thinking views people
I am always interested in affecting people in some way, making them think about particular areas of history that they have never thought about or that they may have thought about in one way and then changing their view.
brother thinking people
I'm afraid that what most people don't know about me is that I'm very close to my brother and sister, who are 16 and 13, and I think I'm a pretty good big sister to them.
girl thinking play
I don't think I have the assets to play the more traditional Bond Girl.
character thinking done
I always find filming stressful. I get very caught up thinking about my character - 'Am I doing it right? Should it be done this way?'
thinking people skyfall
People are already describing it [Skyfall] as the best Bond flick ever, and I really think it will be.
thinking target skinny
I don't why I was bullied. I was quite shy and skinny. Very nerdy, very bookwormish. I think I was just a target.
thinking people helping
I think there's nothing more amazing than helping people every day.
struggle thinking people
You don't want to just preach to people; you want to get them emotionally involved, and I think you do that with a wonderful human story about one person's struggle.
ate became britain diet health ill lots obsessed raw stopped survive trying
Yes, I'm obsessed with health, which has been an interesting journey. I went down the raw-food diet route, but got ill. It was really hard, especially in Britain in winter, trying to survive on raw carrots. I became so ill and anemic, so I stopped that and became a vitamin junkie. I just ate lots of vegetables, exercised and breathed.
austen britain jane love people totally
I'm totally in love with Jane Austen and have always been in love with Jane Austen. I did my dissertation at university on black people in eighteenth-century Britain - so I'd love to do a Jane Austen-esque film but with black people.
became british era helps history race relations society understand
The Windrush era is a very important part of British history as it helps us understand how and why we became the multicultural society we are today, and also helps us understand the history of race relations in this country.
certain child lines mainly smile turn
There are certain expectations that are put on you as a child actor, but mainly it's just turn up and say your lines with a lot of energy and a cute smile.
arm bond candy changed contribute ended follow role typical women
I think the role of the Bond woman has changed so much over the years that it now doesn't follow a typical archetypical view. Before, it was very much a beautiful woman who didn't contribute much and who usually ended up getting killed or was arm candy for Bond. But now the women in a Bond movie have so much more to offer.
either everybody fit struggles trying
Everybody struggles with being an oddball. It's tough trying to fit in when you're a kid; then you become an adult and you think, 'I'm just going to be myself and either they accept it or they don't.' But you know what? I like me, and that's the most important thing.
