“I totally heard by chance that they were doing the casting for a James Bond movie, and that one of the auditions was taking place in Paris. So I tried myself to contact every name involved in the movie I could possibly find on the IMDb!”

I don’t think being a good James Bond girl has to do with nationality. I think it has to do with a specific person at a certain time being right for the specific needs of a given script. It has to do with talent and personality, regardless of nationality.

And Shanghai is amazing. I’m a fan of science fiction so when you’re there in the night with all the lights and all this modernity, it’s like a set in a movie.

I really enjoyed Casino Royale because suddenly something changed with this modernity and with Daniel bringing life to James Bond in a very new way.

Sometimes the only way you can get an audience is at an audition.

At this point in my career, I don’t have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things.

When I was younger, I would go to auditions to have the opportunity to audition, which would mean another chance to get up there and try out my stuff.

You’ve got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition’s an opportunity to have an audience.

I was in fifth grade and my teacher saw an ad in the paper and took me to the audition after school and I got the part.

My first audition was an open call and I had no picture and no resume

I just try to get through my to-do list, with my kids’ homework being at the top of it, and then try to prepare for the next audition or whatever scene I’m shooting next. Balance.
