Do we need to have a female Bond? Couldn't we just make something new?

Someone asked if I wanted to be the first female Bond, and I was saying that I don't think we necessarily need that whole conversation.

Why shouldn't there be more epic, brilliant female characters onscreen?

I am learning on every job I do. There is something new every time.

I got a really good insight into the world of wrestling.

We're learning things every decade we grow through, and ultimately, you do end up with a different way of looking at things.

Feisty women are my calling!

The whole wrestling art, it's a whole form, is performance, and that's what makes it so exciting to do.

That, for me, actually is the most important thing about doing a period film is trying to make these people as lovable as they are back then.

I think it's so interesting which ways your career can go. I would have been a completely different actor doing a completely different story, and I would have missed 'Lady Macbeth.'

I think there's always some good reason to try and modernize most period things, because at the end of the day, they may have, I suppose, used a different language or a different etiquette, but ultimately, these are still people that loved and breathed and lived and ate and weed and pooed just like we do now.

I know that my way of tackling a character is very different.
